President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has outlined the next phase of his administration’s economic reforms, pledging stronger fiscal discipline, transparency and policy consistency during a meeting with global investors in Paris, France.

Speaking at a high-level engagement with international investment firms, Tinubu said his post-2027 outlook would focus on consolidating ongoing reforms while ensuring stability in policy execution.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President assured investors that continuity in governance and reform implementation remains central to his administration’s agenda.

“The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians,” Tinubu said.

The meeting formed part of the President’s three-nation diplomatic tour, during which he highlighted sweeping economic reforms aimed at eliminating structural distortions, stabilising macroeconomic indicators and driving inclusive growth.

Tinubu also reiterated plans to deepen reforms across key sectors, including improving transparency in the oil value chain and strengthening security through measures such as police decentralisation and efforts to curb terrorist financing.

At the session, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, presented macroeconomic data showing Nigeria recorded 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.

He said the figures support Nigeria’s ambition to grow its economy to $1tn by 2030, adding that the government is focused on translating reforms into tangible benefits for citizens.

Oyedele also disclosed plans to publish quarterly financial data to boost transparency and investor confidence.

Similarly, Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to responsible borrowing and sustainable debt practices.

The investor group included representatives from Citibank and Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson, alongside BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management and Mesarete Capital.

Several investors commended the administration’s reform programme, describing it as transformative and expressing optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook.

INEC chairman Amupitan faces Nigerian protesters in London over 2027 polls

Nigerian protesters have confronted Joash Amupitan, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), outside Chatham House in London, demanding answers over alleged irregularities in the country’s electoral system ahead of the 2027 general elections.   The protesters accosted Amupitan on Thursday as he left the British think tank after participating in a panel discussion titled ‘Nigeria’s 2027 Elections: Democratic Trajectory and Regional Stability Beyond the Ballot’. According to a report by TheCable, the demonstrators surrounded the black vehicle conveying the INEC chairman and demanded that he address their concerns about alleged irregularities in Nigeria’s voter register. Videos circulating on social media showed protesters holding placards, recording the encounter and chanting at the electoral chief. “Why are you running? Come out and talk to us,” some of the protesters shouted. Another demonstrator was heard calling for the police to be contacted, insisting that Amupitan should come out and address their concerns. One of the placards displayed during the confrontation read: “Amupitan, no more election fraud”. However, the INEC chairman remained inside his vehicle and did not give an audible response to the protesters. INEC Under Scrutiny Over Voter Register The confrontation comes amid growing scrutiny of INEC following concerns raised last month over suspected AI-generated photographs appearing in the commission’s preliminary voter register. INEC subsequently said it had traced the photographs to alleged misconduct by some registration officers who had access to its registration portal. The controversy raised further questions about the integrity of the electoral register ahead of the 2027 general elections. Amupitan Addresses Concerns Over 2023 Elections During his Chatham House appearance, Amupitan acknowledged that glitches experienced during the transmission of results in the 2023 general elections had eroded public confidence in the commission. He, however, said INEC had taken steps to ensure the smooth and efficient conduct of the 2027 elections. The protesters’ confrontation highlights continuing concerns over electoral transparency and public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
