President Bola Tinubu has assured global investors that Nigeria’s post-2027 economic direction will prioritise fiscal discipline, transparency, and consistent policy implementation as key pillars of governance.
Speaking during a meeting with international investors in Paris, France, Tinubu said his administration is committed to deepening ongoing reforms and sustaining macroeconomic stability to support long-term growth.
The engagement brought together representatives from major global investment firms, including Citibank, Amundi, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM), and Mesarete Capital.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President emphasised that the reforms introduced by his government are aimed at removing structural distortions in the economy while strengthening transparency, particularly in the oil and gas sector.
He also reiterated plans to enhance security through a multi-layered strategy that includes decentralising policing structures and targeting financial networks that support terrorism.
“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” Tinubu said.
At the meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted recent economic performance, noting that Nigeria recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.
He said the government remains focused on achieving its long-term ambition of building a $1 trillion economy by 2030, adding that current reforms are designed to convert macroeconomic gains into real improvements in citizens’ welfare.
Oyedele further pledged increased transparency in fiscal reporting, including the publication of quarterly financial data to strengthen investor confidence.
The Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, also assured investors that Nigeria is maintaining a disciplined approach to borrowing, with emphasis on sustainable debt levels.
Several investors at the session reportedly welcomed the reforms, describing them as transformative and expressing optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook.
