President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured international investors of Nigeria’s commitment to transparency, fiscal discipline, and sustained economic reforms during a high-level meeting in Paris.
Addressing investors from Citibank, France’s Amundi, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, PGIM and Mesarete Capital, Tinubu said his administration’s reforms are designed to remove economic distortions and stabilise macroeconomic indicators to lay the groundwork for inclusive growth.
The meeting was part of the president’s three-nation trip that began on Sunday.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, told the investors that Nigeria recorded 11.2% GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025, a record he said strengthens the country’s target of achieving a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
He added that the government’s immediate focus is on translating reforms into tangible benefits for Nigerians and pledged to publish quarterly financial data to improve transparency.
Debt Management Office Director General, Patience Oniha, also briefed investors on the government’s approach to debt financing, stressing responsible borrowing and sustainable debt management.
Tinubu said the reforms extend beyond the economy to include enhanced transparency across the oil value chain and a multi-pronged security strategy covering police decentralisation and efforts 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,” he said.
Several investors at the meeting commended the government’s reforms and expressed confidence in Nigeria’s economic outlook. One investor asked about Tinubu’s post-2027 agenda, to which the president responded by reiterating his commitment to fiscal discipline, transparency, and consistent policy direction.
