President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transparency, fiscal discipline, and far-reaching economic reforms during a high-level meeting with global investors in Paris.
The engagement, which brought together leading international financiers including Citibank and Amundi, formed part of the President’s ongoing efforts to position Nigeria as a stable and attractive investment destination.
Addressing the investors, Tinubu said his government’s reform agenda is focused on eliminating structural distortions in the economy, strengthening macroeconomic stability, and laying the groundwork for sustainable and inclusive growth.
“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” the President stated.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the administration is intensifying reforms across critical sectors, particularly the oil value chain, while also improving transparency and accountability in public finance.
Tinubu further highlighted a multi-pronged security strategy aimed at addressing insecurity nationwide, noting that measures such as police decentralisation and efforts to disrupt terrorist financing are already underway.
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, told the investors that Nigeria recorded an 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025—an indicator, he said, of the economy’s strengthening fundamentals.

He noted that the administration is targeting a $1 trillion economy by 2030, with immediate priorities centred on translating policy reforms into tangible benefits for citizens and improving fiscal transparency. Oyedele also pledged that the government would begin publishing quarterly financial data to enhance accountability.
Also speaking, the Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, assured investors of Nigeria’s prudent borrowing strategy and its commitment to sustainable debt management practices.
The meeting was attended by representatives of major global investment firms, including BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management, and Mesarete Capital, alongside Citibank and Amundi, whose delegation was led by Valerie Baudson.
Several investors reportedly commended the administration’s reform drive and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic prospects. One participant queried the President on his post-2027 agenda, prompting Tinubu to reiterate his commitment to sustaining fiscal discipline, transparency, and policy consistency beyond the current political cycle.
The Paris meeting forms part of Tinubu’s three-nation tour aimed at strengthening economic ties and attracting foreign investment into Nigeria.
