Tinubu meets investors in Paris, promises policy consistency

President Bola Tinubu met with global investors in Paris, France, on Tuesday.

Tinubu, who departed Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation trip, promised the foreign investors policy consistency.

According to a statement on Tuesday, by Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, Tinubu also said his government’s reform programme is focused on removing economic distortions and stabilising macroeconomic indicators to drive sustained and inclusive growth.

The president added that his administration is committed to deepening reforms, improving transparency across the oil value chain, and implementing a multi-pronged security strategy, including police decentralisation and disrupting terrorist financing.

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

According to the statement, some investors at the meeting commended the government’s reforms and expressed optimism about the Nigerian economy.

Responding to a question on his post-2027 agenda, Tinubu promised to strengthen fiscal discipline, transparency, and deliver policy consistency.

At the meeting, Taiwo Oyedele, minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, highlighted Nigeria’s gross domestic product (GDP) performance, noting that the country recorded 11.2 percent growth in dollar terms in 2025.

He said the performance reinforces Nigeria’s ambition to build a $1 trillion economy by 2030, adding that the government’s near-term priority is to translate reforms into results for citizens.

Oyedele also pledged to publish quarterly financial data.

Patience Oniha, director-general of the Debt Management Office (DMO), assured investors of the government’s commitment to responsible borrowing and sustainable debt management.

The investor group included representatives from Citibank and France’s Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson.

Other participants were BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management, and Mesarete Capital.
