President Bola Tinubu has reassured global investors of his administration’s commitment to policy consistency, transparency, and fiscal discipline, as he worked to boost investor confidence during a meeting in Paris, France.
The engagement, held on the sidelines of the President’s three-nation trip, brought together leading investment firms from Europe, the United States, and Africa, all closely watching Nigeria’s economic reforms and outlook, according to a statement issued on Tuesday.
Speaking at the meeting, Tinubu said his government’s reform agenda is aimed at correcting long-standing structural challenges and repositioning the economy for sustainable growth.
“Our priority is policy stability and effective implementation to ensure that these reforms deliver meaningful benefits for Nigerians,” he said.
He noted that recent economic measures, though swift and far-reaching, were necessary to eliminate distortions and stabilize key macroeconomic indicators that had hindered growth over time.
Also addressing investors, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, pointed to positive economic trends, revealing that Nigeria recorded an 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025. He said the performance supports the country’s ambition of achieving a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
Oyedele added that while reforms are ongoing, the government is focused on ensuring their impact is felt by citizens, including plans to release quarterly financial reports to enhance transparency.
The Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, also assured investors of prudent fiscal management, emphasizing a commitment to sustainable debt practices.
The investor delegation included representatives from major global firms such as Citibank and Amundi, alongside BlueCrest Capital Management, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management, and Mesarete Capital.
Some investors praised the government’s reform efforts, describing them as transformative, and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s medium- to long-term prospects. However, they also sought assurances on policy continuity beyond the current political cycle.
During a question-and-answer session, one investor raised concerns about the administration’s direction after 2027, reflecting wider interest in long-term consistency.
In response, Tinubu reiterated his commitment to maintaining fiscal discipline, strengthening transparency, and ensuring sustained policy stability.
