President Bola Tinubu has met with global investors in Paris, France, where he emphasised transparency, fiscal discipline, and the rationale behind the swift implementation of his administration’s economic reforms.

Mr. Tinubu, who departed Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation tour, said his government’s economic reform programme was designed to remove structural distortions within the economy and stabilise key macroeconomic indicators, thereby laying the foundation for sustained and inclusive growth.

He stated that the administration remained committed to deepening reforms, improving transparency across the oil value chain, and implementing a multi-pronged security strategy that includes police decentralisation and efforts to disrupt terrorist financing.

“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” President Tinubu said, according to a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.

Several investors at the meeting commended the government’s reform agenda and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook.

One of the investors asked the President about his post-2027 agenda. In response, Mr. Tinubu pledged to strengthen fiscal discipline and transparency, while maintaining policy consistency.

At the meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria’s strong GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.

Mr. Oyedele said Nigeria recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms last year, a performance he said reinforced the country’s ambition to build a $1 trillion economy by 2030.

The minister stressed that the government’s immediate priority was to ensure that ongoing reforms translated into tangible benefits for Nigerians. He also pledged that quarterly financial data would be published regularly.

Also speaking, the Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Ms. Patience Oniha, assured investors of the government’s responsible approach to debt financing and its commitment to sustainable debt management.

The investors in attendance included representatives of Citibank and France’s Amundi, led by Ms. Valerie Baudson. Others were BlueCrest, Ninety One — a Britain- and South Africa-based investment firm — Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, and United States-based firms Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM) and Mesarete Capital.
