Global giants bet big on Nigeria in France, Tinubu’s efforts – Group

President Bola Tinubu’s recent economic engagement in France has garnered significant attention, with high-calibre global investors signaling a robust and
rapidly increasing trust in Nigeria’s economic future.

The Tinubu Media Support Group
(TMSG) highlighted this development as a testament to the President’s ongoing efforts to position Nigeria as a prime investment destination.

The meeting saw representatives from financial powerhouses such as Citibank, Amundi, PGIM, and Ninety One, alongside other multinational institutions like Blue Crest, Kirkoswald, Principal Finisterre, and Mesarete Capital.

These entities, collectively managing
trillions of dollars in assets, renowned for their strategic investments in major emerging markets with substantial promise.

According to TMSG, the presence of such esteemed global investors serves as a powerful rebuttal to critics who have cast doubts on Nigeria’s economic trajectory under President Tinubu’s leadership.

“It is a major vote of confidence in the effective handling of Nigeria’s economy by the Bola Tinubu administration,” stated TMSG in a press release.
The group emphasized that institutions of this magnitude would not engage without significant stakes and genuine interest.

The discussions primarily revolved around securing crucial investments to propel Nigeria towards its ambitious goal of a $1 trillion economy by 2030.

President Tinubu and his team outlined comprehensive strategies aimed at ensuring policy stability, enhancing
transparency, simplifying ease of doing business, and implementing disciplined execution to further stabilize the economy.
These measures are designed to attract longterm investments that will translate into tangible benefits for Nigerian citizens.

A key highlight from the discussions was the revelation of an anticipated 11.2% GDP growth in dollar terms for Nigeria in 2025, a figure expected to significantly pique the interest of these reputable financial institutions.

TMSG urged Nigerians to focus on such impactful engagements rather than heeding opposition narratives.
Furthermore, TMSG dismissed as “absurd and outlandish” claims by opposition figures suggesting President Tinubu’s visit to France was for medical reasons.

The group questioned the logic of such assertions, humorously asking if global investors like Citibank now operate medical facilities.

Looking ahead, the TMSG expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s commitment to his post-2027 agenda, which includes strengthening fiscal discipline, improving transparency, and ensuring policy consistency, reinforcing the positive outlook for Nigeria’s economic landscape.
