Tinubu Engages Global Investors in Paris, Reaffirms Commitment to Economic Reforms
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has met with global investors in Paris, where he reiterated his administration’s commitment to transparency, fiscal discipline, and sustained economic reforms.
The meeting, part of the President’s three-nation trip, brought together major international investment firms, including Citibank and Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson, alongside other institutional investors.
Addressing participants, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s economic performance, noting that the country recorded an 11.2 percent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.
He said the growth underscores Nigeria’s ambition to build a $1 trillion economy by 2030, adding that the government is focused on translating reforms into tangible benefits for citizens. Oyedele also pledged that quarterly financial data would be published to enhance transparency.
The Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, assured investors of the government’s prudent approach to borrowing and its commitment to sustainable debt management.
President Tinubu explained that his administration’s reform agenda is designed to eliminate economic distortions, stabilise macroeconomic indicators, and lay the foundation for inclusive growth. He also emphasised ongoing efforts to improve transparency in the oil sector and strengthen national security through reforms such as police decentralisation and measures to disrupt 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 said.
Investors at the meeting commended the government’s reform efforts and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook. In response to questions about his post-2027 agenda, President Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining fiscal discipline, transparency, and policy consistency.
The engagement signals Nigeria’s continued push to attract foreign investment and strengthen confidence in its economic direction.
