EKO HOT BLOG reports hat the President made this known on Monday after holding separate meetings in Lagos with two of Nigeria’s leading international investors, Hakeem Belo-Osagie, Chairman of Metis Capital, and Bayo Ogunlesi, Chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners & BlackRock.
Sharing highlights of the engagements on his verified X handle, @officialABAT, Tinubu disclosed that discussions centred on accelerating large-scale investments in upstream oil and gas as well as critical infrastructure projects needed to secure Nigeria’s long-term economic 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, stressing that strategic partnerships remain essential to altering the country’s economic trajectory.
He further explained that ongoing reforms under his administration are already reshaping Nigeria’s investment climate, paving the way for sustainable financing and greater participation from international capital markets.
“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,” Tinubu stated.
The meetings with Belo-Osagie and Ogunlesi are part of the government’s broader investment drive, which aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda that places emphasis on energy, infrastructure, and private-sector growth as catalysts for economic transformation.
By strengthening collaborations with both domestic and foreign investors, the Tinubu administration aims to fast-track development in sectors that will not only ensure energy security but also position Nigeria as a hub for regional prosperity.
