Nigeria Ready For Partnerships, Tinubu Tells Global Investors

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has restated Nigeria’s readiness to partner with credible global investors, particularly Nigerians in the diaspora and “sons of the soil.”

He described such partnership as part of efforts to secure energy independence and deliver modern infrastructure to power prosperity across Africa.

The President made the declaration in Lagos yesterday after separate meetings with two of the country’s foremost global investment figures – Hakeem Belo-Osagie of Metis Capital and Bayo Ogunlesi of Global Infrastructure Partners & BlackRock.

The tips of the engagements were shared on the President’s verified X handle – @officialABAT.

The tweet reads: “We agreed on the urgency of unlocking large-scale investments in upstream oil & gas and critical infrastructure to drive Nigeria’s long-term growth.”

Stressing that such partnerships were essential to transform the nation’s economic trajectory, the President noted that his administration’s reforms are already reshaping the investment climate.

“Our administration’s reforms are creating a better enabling environment whilst opening new frontiers for sustainable financing, global capital, and transformative projects. We are determined to make Nigeria Africa’s premier investment destination,” the President said.

The engagements with Belo-Osagie and Ogunlesi form part of Tinubu’s ongoing drive to attract investments into Nigeria’s energy and infrastructure sectors, considered critical pillars of his Renewed Hope Agenda (RHA).
