Paris, FRANCE – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has concluded an investment summit in Paris, pitching Nigeria’s “bold reforms” to some of the world’s leading financial institutions.
During the meeting, Tinubu emphasized that his administration’s focus on transparency and fiscal discipline is successfully stabilizing the nation’s macroeconomic indicators.
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, presented a compelling case to the investors, revealing that Nigeria recorded a record 11.2% GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025. This surge is viewed as a critical milestone toward the administration’s goal of achieving a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
Okay News reports that Oyedele pledged to institutionalize this transparency by publishing quarterly financial data to maintain international market confidence.
Addressing concerns over borrowing, the Director General of the Debt Management Office (DMO), Mrs. Patience Oniha, assured the delegation—which included representatives from Citibank, Amundi, Ninety One, and Prudential Global (PGIM)—that Nigeria is maintaining a responsible and sustainable approach to debt financing. When questioned about his post-2027 agenda, President Tinubu promised to deliver policy consistency and further decentralize the police force to ensure a secure environment for long-term capital investments.
