Tinubu Meets Global Investors in Paris, Promises Transparency and Fiscal Discipline
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has engaged top global investors in Paris, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to transparency, fiscal discipline, and sustained economic reforms aimed at stabilising Nigeria’s economy.
At the high-level meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s economic performance, revealing that the country recorded an 11.2 percent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.
He said the milestone reinforces Nigeria’s ambition to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
Oyedele noted that the government’s immediate priority is to ensure that ongoing reforms translate into tangible benefits for Nigerians, adding that quarterly financial data will be published to boost transparency and accountability.
Also speaking, Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, assured investors of the government’s prudent approach to borrowing and its focus on sustainable debt management.
The investor delegation included representatives from Citibank, Amundi led by Valerie Baudson, as well as firms such as BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management, and Mesarete Capital.
President Tinubu, who is on a three-nation trip, explained that his administration’s reform agenda focuses on eliminating economic distortions and stabilising macroeconomic indicators to drive inclusive growth.
He also pledged to deepen reforms in the oil sector by improving transparency across the value chain, while implementing a multi-pronged security strategy that includes police decentralisation and efforts to curb terrorist financing.
“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” the President said.
Some of the investors commended the administration’s reform efforts and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook.
Responding to questions about his post-2027 plans, Tinubu assured stakeholders of continued commitment to fiscal discipline, transparency, and policy consistency.
