Tinubu meets global investors in Paris, pledges economic reforms
President Bola Tinubu has met with global investors in Paris, France, where he highlighted his administration’s commitment to transparency, fiscal discipline, and ongoing economic reforms.
Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.
Mr Tinubu, who left Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation trip, said his administration’s reform programme targets macroeconomic stability and inclusive growth.
He noted that measures were being implemented to remove economic distortions and strengthen policy credibility.
“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” he said.
The president also reiterated his commitment to transparency in the oil sector and a multi-pronged security strategy.
He said the strategy includes decentralisation of policing and efforts to curb terrorist financing.
Some of the investors who spoke at the meeting commended the reforms and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook.
Responding to a question on his post-2027 agenda, Mr Tinubu pledged to sustain fiscal discipline, transparency and policy consistency.
At the meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s strong economic performance.
Mr Oyedele said Nigeria recorded 11.2 per cent gross domestic product (GDP) growth in dollar terms in 2025.
He said the performance reinforced the country’s ambition to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
The minister outlined the government’s priority of translating reforms into tangible benefits for citizens and pledged to publish financial data quarterly to strengthen transparency.
The Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Mrs Patience Oniha, assured investors of prudent debt management, stressing that the government remained committed to sustainable financing strategies.
According to the presidency, investors at the meeting included representatives from Citibank, Amundi, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management and Mesarete Capital.
