President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday assured international investors that his government’s post-2027 agenda will centre on strengthening Nigeria’s fiscal discipline, transparency, and policy consistency.
Responding to a question from an investor on his post-2027 plans, the President said his administration would deepen reforms and ensure stability in economic policies.
At a meeting held in Paris, France, between the President and global investors from Citibank, Amundi, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM), and Mesarete Capital, Tinubu stressed that transparency and fiscal discipline remain central to his reform strategy.
According to a statement issued by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President emphasised that his administration’s economic reforms are designed to remove distortions and stabilise macroeconomic indicators to support inclusive growth.
He said the government is committed to deepening reforms, enhancing 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.
At the meeting, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s strong GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.
According to him, Nigeria recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms last year, reinforcing the country’s ambition to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
Oyedele also outlined the government’s near-term priorities, including translating reforms into tangible outcomes for citizens, and pledged to publish quarterly financial data to enhance transparency.
Director General of the Debt Management Office (DMO), Mrs Patience Oniha, assured investors of the government’s responsible approach to borrowing and its commitment to sustainable debt management.
Some of the investors at the meeting commended the government’s transformative reforms and expressed optimism about the Nigerian economy.
