...Investors express confidence as Fed govt targets $1trn economy by 2030
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has outlined the next phase of his administration’s economic agenda, pledging to deepen fiscal discipline, entrench transparency, and ensure policy consistency as he engaged global investors in Paris, France.
Speaking during a high-level meeting with leading international investment firms, the President said his post-2027 outlook would focus on consolidating reforms already underway while maintaining stability in policy execution.
One of the investors had sought clarity on the administration’s direction beyond 2027, to which Tinubu responded with assurances of continuity in reform implementation and governance discipline.
A statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga quoted the President as saying “the focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians”.
Tinubu, who departed Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation diplomatic tour, used the meeting to highlight his administration’s sweeping economic reform programme, which he said is designed to eliminate distortions, stabilise macroeconomic indicators, and lay the groundwork for sustained and inclusive growth.

He reiterated government’s commitment to deepening reforms across critical sectors, including enhancing transparency in the oil value chain and deploying a multi-pronged security strategy that features police decentralisation and efforts to disrupt terrorist financing.
At the meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, presented encouraging macroeconomic data, revealing that Nigeria recorded an 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.
He said the performance reinforces Nigeria’s ambition to grow its economy to $1 trillion by 2030, adding that the government’s immediate priority is to translate ongoing reforms into tangible benefits for citizens.
Oyedele also assured investors of increased transparency, disclosing plans to publish quarterly financial data as part of efforts to build confidence and accountability.
In the same vein, Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to responsible borrowing and sustainable debt management practices.
The investor group at the meeting included representatives from Citibank and Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson, as well as BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM), and Mesarete Capital.
Several investors commended the administration’s reform drive, describing it as transformative and expressing optimism about Nigeria’s economic trajectory.
