“I am happy to bring Nigeria to your doorsteps and honoured that we’re here today with a bubbling maket that will evolve the West African subregion,” Tinubu said.
“The greatest economy is Nigeria. There is an immense opportunity in Nigeria that you can invest your money without fear.
“We’ve removed a lot of the bottlenecks. We’ve cleared the subsidy that is corrupt and we’ve also retooled the exchange rate to a reliable, dependable one-figure floating of the exchange naira.”
