Tinubu courts global investors, promises economic stability

President Bola Tinubu has assured global investors of his administration’s commitment to policy stability, transparency, and fiscal discipline, as he sought to strengthen investor confidence during a meeting in Paris, France.

The meeting, held on the sidelines of the President’s three nation trip, brought together top investment firms from Europe, the United States, and Africa, all closely monitoring Nigeria’s reform trajectory and economic outlook, according to a statement from the presidency on Tuesday.

Addressing the gathering, Tinubu said his administration’s reform programme was designed to correct longstanding structural imbalances and reposition the economy for sustainable growth.

“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” he said.

He explained that recent economic decisions, though bold and implemented swiftly, were necessary to remove distortions and stabilise key macroeconomic indicators that had constrained growth over the years.

Also speaking at the meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted what he described as encouraging economic signals.

He said, “Nigeria recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025,” adding that the performance reinforced the country’s ambition of building a $1tn economy by 2030.
