He said, “The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change would be a willing partner of the Tinubu administration especially in prioritising its goals and delivery.”

He further stated, “We would like to help in any way with your administration. We only need to know what the leadership priorities are and help in how to actualise them.”

Blair commended Tinubu’s campaign focus on key areas of security, economy, agriculture, and power, describing the intertwined nature of the areas as critical to the development of any society.

He expressed optimism, saying, “With the appetite shown by investors to invest in Nigeria, the Tinubu administration could get the support it needs to spur economic development in the country.”

Blair acknowledged the difficult task before Tinubu and other leaders, stating, “Being in government today anywhere in the world is tough. You have things happening around the world which affect you and for which you can’t do anything much.”

President-elect Tinubu responded by expressing his appreciation to Blair for the visit and his offer to work with his administration.

He highlighted the shared vision between him and the Tony Blair Institute in their priority areas, but also emphasized the importance of tackling investment challenges and the need for social investment to fight poverty.

Tinubu said, “We have to invest more, put technology in place and keep terrorists at bay because without effective security, there is no guarantee investors will come.”

He promised to provide a conducive environment that would encourage investors and open up opportunities for the people.
