“President Tinubu has made a very strong start,” Pyatt said. “He has taken bold steps to address the challenges facing the Nigerian economy, and we believe that these reforms will create a more attractive environment for foreign investment.”

Pyatt specifically mentioned the removal of fuel subsidies and the fixing of the foreign exchange as two reforms that could make Nigeria more attractive to foreign investors.

“These reforms will make it easier for businesses to operate in Nigeria, and they will also make it easier for Nigerians to access affordable goods and services,” Pyatt said.

Pyatt also said that the U.S. was interested in working with Nigeria to develop its energy sector, including its vast oil and gas resources.

“Nigeria is a major player in the global energy market,” Pyatt said. “We believe that by working together, we can help Nigeria to develop its energy resources in a sustainable and responsible way.”

Pyatt’s comments come at a time when Nigeria is looking to attract more foreign investment. The country’s economy is currently in a recession, and the government is hoping that foreign investment can help to stimulate economic growth.

President Tinubu has made economic reform a top priority of his administration. He has promised to reduce corruption, improve infrastructure, and create a more business-friendly environment
