Senator Gbenga Daniel, representing Ogun East, stated that Nigeria's economic progress should be measured by the lived experiences of its citizens rather than GDP growth alone. He made these remarks at the 7th Annual Lecture of Freedom Online in Lagos, emphasizing that economic growth and security are inseparable. His comments follow the National Bureau of Statistics' report of a 4.43% GDP growth in Q2 2026, which he acknowledged as encouraging but not fully reflective of the economic realities facing Nigerians.
