President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has engaged global investors in Paris, France, underscoring his administration’s commitment to transparency, fiscal discipline, and sustained economic reforms.
According to a State House press release signed by Bayo Onanuga, the meeting formed part of the President’s ongoing three-nation trip aimed at strengthening investor confidence and deepening international economic partnerships.
At the session, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s economic performance, revealing that the country recorded an 11.2 per cent Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in dollar terms in 2025. He said the performance reinforces Nigeria’s ambition to build a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
Oyedele noted that the government’s immediate priority is to translate ongoing reforms into tangible benefits for citizens, adding that quarterly financial data would be published to enhance transparency and accountability.
Also speaking, Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, assured investors of the government’s prudent approach to borrowing and its focus on sustainable debt management.
The investors at the meeting included representatives from Citibank, Amundi, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM), and Mesarete Capital.
President Tinubu explained that his administration’s reform agenda is designed to eliminate economic distortions, stabilise macroeconomic indicators, and lay the groundwork for inclusive growth. He added that efforts are ongoing to deepen reforms across the oil value chain, strengthen fiscal transparency, and implement a comprehensive security strategy, including police decentralisation and measures to curb terrorist financing.
“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” the President stated.
Some investors commended the government’s reform efforts and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook. Responding to a question on his post-2027 agenda, Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to fiscal discipline, transparency, and policy consistency.
