President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele and other top Nigerian government officials have met with a group of global investors in Paris, France.
Bayo Onanuga, the spokesperson for the Nigerian President said Tinubu emphasized transparency, fiscal discipline while explaining the rationale for the swift implementation of bold reforms to the global investors at the meeting.
According to the statement, the investors were from Citibank and France’s Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson. There were also investors from BlueCrest, the Britain- and South Africa-based Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, US groups Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM) and Mesarete Capital.
President Tinubu, who left Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation trip, said the economic reform programme of his administration includes measures to remove economic distortions and stabilise macroeconomic indicators, laying the foundation for sustained inclusive growth.
He said his government is committed to deepening reforms, enhancing transparency across the oil value chain, and implementing a multi-pronged security strategy, including police decentralisation and disrupting terrorist financing.
“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians”, President Tinubu said.
Also speaking at the meeting, Oyedele highlighted Nigeria’s strong GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.
He said Nigeria recorded 11.2% GDP growth in dollar terms last year, a record that reinforced the country’s ambition to achieve a $1 trillion economy in 2030.
Oyedele emphasised the government’s near-term priorities of translating reforms into results for the Nigerian people.
He also pledged to publish quarterly financial data.
The Director General of the Debt Management Office, Mrs Patience Oniha, assured investors of the government’s responsible approach to debt financing and its focus on sustainable debt management.
Some of the investors who spoke at the meeting commended the government’s transformative reforms and expressed optimism about the Nigerian economy.
One of the investors asked President Tinubu about his post-2027 agenda. He promised to strengthen fiscal discipline and transparency, and to deliver policy consistency.
