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.
