EKO HOT BLOG reports that President Tinubu declared Nigeria an investors’ paradise due to his administration’s reforms, including forex market cleanup and fuel subsidy removal. He urged Dutch investors to seize opportunities for economic partnerships.
Tinubu stressed the importance of mutually beneficial ties and called for innovative collaboration channels to foster economic growth and job creation.
He emphasized that partnerships must yield real benefits, driving prosperity for both Nigeria and the Netherlands.
The President, according to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, added that by working together, Nigeria and the Netherlands could unlock new opportunities and drive prosperity for their people.
The statement reads: “ It is worthy to note that while this forum seeks to highlight and advance the potential of mutually beneficial partnerships, I wish to state here that we must also ensure that the partnerships are creative and transformative in such a manner that the ordinary citizens of our countries can reap verifiable gains.
“It is on record that Nigeria and the Netherlands have established business ties for decades.
There is every need to re-invigorate this relationship. This is a call for creativity on the part of all of us.
“Our countries possess unique strengths and resources.
It is through collaboration that we can harness these strengths, unlock new opportunities, and drive economic development.
“Together, we have the potential to create synergies that will benefit our present and future generations.
We must endeavour to replicate the success stories of various Dutch companies and enterprises by learning and sharing their experiences and approaches for the benefit of all.
“As the world braces for today’s economic challenges, which in many ways affect our two countries, a creative approach to the search for investment-minded solutions will prove to be the most viable path to the level of sustainable development that we all desire.
“In line with the above vision, I believe that we must endeavour to push this narrative into our daily business activities and to move toward industrial value addition, agribusiness, innovative technology, green energy, marine economic expansion, as well as solid mineral exploitation and processing.
“As we engage in discussions and negotiations today, let us do so with a spirit of openness, trust, and mutual respect. Let us listen to one another, learn from each other, and find common ground that will allow us to move forward together in pursuit of our shared prosperity.”
