Tinubu Meets Global Investors in France, Highlights Reform Achievements - The Alternative News



President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has engaged global investors in Paris, outlining his administration’s economic reforms and commitment to transparency and fiscal discipline.

According to a statement by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, the meeting featured top investment firms including Citibank and Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson.

Other participating firms included BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management, and Mesarete Capital.

Tinubu, who is on a three-nation trip, said his administration’s reform agenda is focused on removing economic distortions, stabilising macroeconomic indicators, and laying the foundation for inclusive and sustained growth.

He reiterated the government’s resolve to deepen reforms, improve transparency in the oil value chain, and implement a comprehensive security strategy, including decentralising policing and disrupting 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 of the investors commended the administration’s reforms and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook. In response to a question on his post-2027 agenda, Tinubu pledged to strengthen fiscal discipline, ensure transparency, and maintain policy consistency.

Also speaking at the meeting, 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 per cent growth in Gross Domestic Product in dollar terms in 2025.

He said the growth reinforces Nigeria’s ambition of becoming a $1 trillion economy by 2030, adding that the government remains focused on translating reforms into tangible benefits for citizens. Oyedele also pledged regular publication of quarterly financial data.

Meanwhile, the Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, assured investors of Nigeria’s commitment to responsible borrowing and sustainable debt management.
