President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has unveiled the next phase of his administration’s economic strategy, assuring global investors of sustained policy stability, fiscal discipline, and transparency as Nigeria deepens its reform agenda.
The president gave the assurance during a high-level engagement with international investment firms in Paris, France, where he outlined his administration’s long-term vision, including plans extending beyond 2027.
Addressing concerns from investors about Nigeria’s economic direction after the current political cycle, Tinubu emphasised that his administration would prioritise continuity in reform implementation and governance discipline.
He stressed that policy consistency remains central to achieving lasting economic gains.
According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the president reiterated that the government’s focus is on ensuring that ongoing reforms translate into measurable improvements in the lives of Nigerians.
Tinubu noted that his administration’s reform programme is designed to eliminate structural inefficiencies, stabilise key macroeconomic indicators, and position Nigeria for sustainable and inclusive growth.
He highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen transparency in the oil sector and enhance national security through strategies such as police decentralisation and disruption of terrorist financing networks.
The president, who recently embarked on a three-nation diplomatic tour, used the Paris meeting to further articulate Nigeria’s economic priorities and reassure investors of a stable operating environment.
Providing an update on economic performance, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, disclosed that Nigeria recorded an 11.2 per cent growth in gross domestic product in dollar terms in 2025.
He said the development underscores the country’s ambition to expand its economy to $1 trillion by 2030.
Oyedele added that the government is focused on translating macroeconomic gains into tangible benefits for citizens, while also strengthening investor confidence through improved transparency measures, including the planned publication of quarterly financial reports.
Also speaking, the Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to prudent borrowing and sustainable debt management.
The meeting attracted top global investment institutions, including Citibank and Amundi, represented by its Chief Executive Officer, Valerie Baudson.
Other participants included BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management, and Mesarete Capital.
Several investors commended the administration’s reform initiatives, describing them as transformative and expressing confidence in Nigeria’s economic outlook under the current policy framework.
