Tinubu’s Administration Secures $30 Billion in Foreign Investments
President Bola Tinubu has shared that his administration, in less than two years, has attracted a significant $30 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments to Nigeria.
Tinubu’s message was conveyed by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who represented him at the 2024 Comptroller General of Customs (CGC) conference held in Abuja.
Ribadu listed Tinubu’s strategy to transform Nigeria into an attractive investment hub by focusing on policies that promote economic stability and transparency.
“Since taking office, we have worked relentlessly to create an environment where investors feel confident about Nigeria’s future,” Ribadu said on behalf of Tinubu.
“The result is that we have already secured over $30 billion in investment commitments.” This, he pointed out, underscores the administration’s vision to lay a solid economic foundation despite numerous challenges.
The president’s ambitious economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of Nigeria’s exchange rate system, have been focal points of his administration.
These measures, Tinubu noted, are intended to foster an environment that is both sustainable and fair, encouraging businesses to thrive in a transparent framework.
Though the reforms have required adjustments and sacrifices from Nigerian citizens, Tinubu argued that they are vital for the country’s long-term development and resilience.
In addition, Ribadu cited Nigeria’s improved stability and the administration’s success in raising crude oil production to 1.8 million barrels per day, a feat that reflects Tinubu’s resolve to reposition Nigeria as a leader in global oil production.
This output, boosted by strengthened security in oil-producing regions and collaborative efforts with local communities, is one of the steps aimed at maximizing Nigeria’s natural resources for economic growth.
