President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday reaffirmed Nigeria’s readiness to partner with credible global investors, including Nigerians in the diaspora, to drive energy independence and deliver modern infrastructure for economic growth across Africa.
The President disclosed this after holding separate meetings with investment leaders Hakeem Belo-Osagie of Metis Capital and Bayo Ogunlesi of Global Infrastructure Partners & BlackRock at his Ikoyi residence in Lagos.
Sharing details of the engagements on his verified X handle, @officialABAT, Tinubu said discussions focused on unlocking large-scale investments in upstream oil and gas as well as critical infrastructure to secure Nigeria’s long-term growth.
“We agreed on the urgency of unlocking large-scale investments in upstream oil & gas and critical infrastructure to drive Nigeria’s long-term growth,” the President wrote, noting that such partnerships were vital to transform the country’s economic trajectory.
Tinubu added that his administration’s reforms were 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,” he said.
The meetings with Belo-Osagie and Ogunlesi are part of ongoing efforts under the Renewed Hope Agenda to attract investment into Nigeria’s energy and infrastructure sectors, which the administration regards as critical to national development.
