President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has met with global investors in Paris, France, where he reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transparency, fiscal discipline and the swift implementation of bold economic reforms aimed at stabilising the economy and laying the foundation for sustained inclusive growth.

At the meeting, Minister of State for Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s economic performance, saying the country recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025. He said the figure supports Nigeria’s ambition of building a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2030, while stressing that the immediate priority of government is to ensure that reforms translate into real benefits for the Nigerian people. He also pledged that quarterly financial data would be published to strengthen transparency and investor confidence.

Also speaking, the Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, assured investors that the Federal Government remains committed to responsible borrowing and sustainable debt management. The investors at the meeting included representatives of Citibank, France’s Amundi led by Valerie Baudson, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management and Mesarete Capital.

President Tinubu said his administration’s reform programme is focused on removing economic distortions, strengthening macroeconomic stability, deepening transparency across the oil value chain and advancing a multi-pronged security strategy, including police decentralisation and efforts to disrupt terrorist financing. He said the focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution so that the reforms can deliver concrete benefits to Nigerians.

Some of the investors commended the government’s reform efforts and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook. When asked about his post-2027 agenda, President Tinubu said his administration would continue to strengthen fiscal discipline, improve transparency and maintain policy consistency.
