The meeting, held on the sidelines of the President’s three-nation visit, brought together leading investment firms from Europe, the United States, and Africa, all closely watching Nigeria’s reform direction and economic outlook, according to a statement from the presidency on Tuesday.

He noted that recent economic measures, though bold and rapidly implemented, were necessary to eliminate distortions and stabilise key macroeconomic indicators that had hindered growth over the years.
Also speaking at the session, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, pointed to what he described as positive economic indicators.
He said, “Nigeria recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025,” adding that the outcome supports the country’s goal of building a $1tn economy by 2030.
According to the statement, Oyedele stressed that while reforms are ongoing, the government’s immediate priority is ensuring that their benefits are felt by ordinary Nigerians.
He stated, “Our near-term priority is translating these reforms into tangible results for the people. We will also publish quarterly financial data to strengthen transparency.”
Meanwhile, the Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, assured investors of careful fiscal management, saying, “We are committed to a responsible approach to debt financing, with a clear focus on sustainability.”

Some of the investors praised what they described as “transformative reforms,” expressing confidence in Nigeria’s medium- to long-term economic outlook, while also seeking clarity on policy continuity.
During a question-and-answer session, one investor asked the President about his post-2027 plans, reflecting wider concerns about policy consistency beyond the current political cycle.
In response, the President assured that his administration would continue to strengthen fiscal discipline, enhance transparency, and maintain policy stability.
