Additionally, interest income from financial assets increased by 10%, reflecting higher yields and increased volumes, despite market rate cuts,” it said.
It said the Authority’s net asset value has grown to $3.40 billion from an initial capital of $1 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate of 10.7%.
According to the CEO, since inception, NSIA has experienced steady growth, achieving 13 consecutive years of earnings expansion and asset accumulation.
He stated: From an initial capital of $1 billion, augmented by additional contributions of $1.06 billion (for a total contribution of $2.06 billion), NSIA’s net asset value has grown to $3.40 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate of 10.7%.
“This track record highlights NSIA’s strong financial management and long-term value creation, supported by disciplined asset allocation, diversified investments and strong risk management that ensure resilience through multiple economic cycles.”
While noting that the Group’s USD net asset value increased by 19.8%, from USD 2.8 billion in 2024 to USD 3.4 billion in 2025, the NSIA helmsman said the Group delivered a marked improvement in profitability in 2025, with return on equity (USD) increasing to 10.5%, up from 7.2% in 2024, just as return on assets (USD) increased to 9.9%, compared to 7.1% in 2024.
“This improvement reflects the resilience and effectiveness of NSIA’s diversified, global investment portfolio, which has continued to generate stable earnings and generate long-term sustainable value despite a dynamic macroeconomic environment,” he explained.
Umar-Sadiq said in 2025, the Group continued to deliver on its dual mandate of providing sustainable financial returns and at the same time achieving tangible economic impact through investments in critical sectors of the Nigerian economy.
According to him, the Authority has played a catalytic role in mobilizing capital, strengthening infrastructure and supporting innovation in the fields of healthcare, energy, technology, agriculture and capital markets.

“Looking ahead, NSIA is well positioned to continue growing key revenue streams while maintaining balance sheet resilience and deploying capital efficiently.
