At the high-level meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s strong economic performance, noting that the country recorded an 11.2 per cent Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in dollar terms in 2025. He described the feat as a significant milestone that reinforces Nigeria’s ambition to build a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
Oyedele stressed that the government’s immediate priority is to translate ongoing reforms into tangible benefits for citizens. He also assured investors of increased transparency, pledging that the government would begin publishing quarterly financial data.
Also speaking, Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to responsible borrowing and sustainable debt management practices, aimed at maintaining fiscal stability.
The investor delegation included representatives from leading global financial institutions such as Citibank and Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson. Other participants were BlueCrest Capital Management, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management, and Mesarete Capital.
President Tinubu, who departed Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation tour, explained that his administration’s reform agenda is designed to eliminate economic distortions, stabilise macroeconomic indicators, and lay the groundwork for inclusive and sustainable growth.
He added that ongoing efforts include enhancing transparency across the oil value chain and implementing a comprehensive security strategy, including 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,” Tinubu said.
Some of the investors commended the administration’s reform efforts and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook. In response to a question on his post-2027 agenda, the President pledged continued commitment to fiscal discipline, transparency, and policy consistency.
