President Bola Tinubu has met with global investors in Paris, France, emphasizing transparency, fiscal discipline, and sustained economic reforms.
The engagement was highlighted in a statement issued by Presidential Spokesperson, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, on Tuesday in Abuja.
At the meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s strong economic performance, noting that the country recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.
Oyedele said the performance reinforces Nigeria’s ambition to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2030. He outlined the government’s priority of translating reforms into tangible benefits for citizens and pledged the quarterly publication of financial data to strengthen transparency.
The Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Mrs. Patience Oniha, assured investors of prudent debt management, stressing that the government remains committed to sustainable financing strategies.
According to the Presidency, investors at the meeting included representatives from Citibank, Amundi, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management, and Mesarete Capital.
President Tinubu, who departed Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation trip, said his administration’s reform programme is focused on achieving macroeconomic stability and inclusive growth. He noted that measures are being implemented to remove economic distortions and strengthen policy credibility.
“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” he said.
The President also reiterated his commitment to transparency in the oil sector and a multi-pronged security strategy that includes the decentralization of policing and efforts to curb terrorist financing.
Some investors who spoke at the meeting commended the reforms and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook.
Responding to a question on his post-2027 agenda, Tinubu pledged to sustain fiscal discipline, transparency, and policy consistency.
