President Bola Tinubu has assured global investors in Paris, France, that his administration’s economic reforms are designed to deliver real benefits to Nigerians, not just improve headline economic indicators.
In a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Tinubu said the government remained focused on policy stability, transparency and disciplined execution as it works to stabilise the economy and attract long-term investment.
“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” the President said.
Tinubu met with investors from Citibank, France’s Amundi, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management and Mesarete Capital as part of his three-nation trip.
The President said his reform programme was aimed at removing economic distortions, strengthening macroeconomic stability and laying the foundation for sustained inclusive growth.
He also pledged to deepen transparency across the oil value chain and pursue a multi-pronged security strategy, including police decentralisation and disruption of terrorist financing.
At the meeting, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, said Nigeria recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025, reinforcing the country’s ambition to build a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
Oyedele said the government’s near-term priority was to translate reforms into results for citizens, adding that quarterly financial data would be published to strengthen transparency.
Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, also assured investors that the government was taking a responsible approach to debt financing and sustainable debt management.
Some investors at the meeting commended the administration’s reforms and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook.
When asked about his post-2027 agenda, Tinubu said his focus would remain on strengthening fiscal discipline, improving transparency and ensuring policy consistency.
