Vice President Kashim Shettima has spotlighted Nigeria’s 200 billion energy transition opportunities at the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), calling on global investors to partner with the country in unlocking its vast energy and economic potential.
Speaking at a Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU) roundtable themed “Risk, Reform, Return” in New York, Shettima stressed that Nigeria’s strategic reforms and sovereign ratings by Fitch and Moody’s position it as a key hub for investment, especially within the $3.4 trillion African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) market.
Representing President Bola Tinubu, Shettima said Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda is driving an economic reset across critical sectors, and invited international partners to be part of the transformative journey.
“In today’s interconnected world, national wealth isn’t inherited or achieved by miracles — it’s built through strategic partnerships and purposeful reforms,” he stated.
