President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to attracting large-scale investments in Nigeria’s oil, gas, and infrastructure sectors, following a strategic meeting in Lagos with top global investment leaders.
On Monday, Tinubu met with Bayo Ogunlesi, Chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners and a key executive at BlackRock, and Hakeem Belo-Osagie of Metis Capital, describing both as “two of Nigeria’s most prominent global investment leaders.”
“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 stated via his official X handle.
He emphasized that Nigeria is open for business, especially with credible investors from the diaspora, and is committed to strengthening energy security and modern infrastructure development.
“Nigeria remains ready to partner with credible global investors, especially our sons of the soil and Nigerians in the diaspora, to deliver energy security and modern infrastructure that powers prosperity across Africa,” he added.
President Tinubu also noted that ongoing economic reforms aim to improve the investment climate and attract global capital for transformative projects.
