Nigerian President Bola Tinubu reiterated that his administration is dedicated to collaborating with reliable global investors to speed up Nigeria’s economic transformation.
Speaking after meetings with leading investment figures in Lagos, the President said the country is open to deeper partnerships with both international stakeholders and Nigerians in the diaspora.
The engagements, held separately with Hakeem Bello-Osagie of Metis Capital and Bayo Ogunlesi of Global Infrastructure Partners & BlackRock, centred on unlocking large-scale investment in Nigeria’s energy and infrastructure sectors.
Tinubu stressed that these areas remain critical pillars for achieving energy independence, modernising infrastructure, and driving long-term prosperity across Africa.
Sharing highlights of the discussions on his verified X handle, @officialABAT, the President noted that consensus was reached on the urgency of scaling up investments in upstream oil and gas as well as strategic infrastructure.
He emphasised that reforms under his administration are already reshaping the investment climate, creating new opportunities for global capital and sustainable financing.
“Our administration’s reforms are building a better enabling environment while opening new frontiers for transformative projects. We are determined to position Nigeria as Africa’s premier investment destination,” Tinubu said.
The meetings form part of his wider Renewed Hope Agenda, which places energy and infrastructure development at the heart of national growth and global competitiveness.
