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.

Brazil and Germany will look to book their places in the last 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Monday as the knockout stage continues with four high-profile ties, while Morocco and the Netherlands meet in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the round.   According to AFP, five-time champions Brazil take on Japan in Houston as they continue their pursuit of a record-extending sixth World Cup title. Carlo Ancelotti’s side topped their group ahead of Morocco, with Vinicius Junior scoring four goals during the group stage. Despite being favourites, Brazil expect a stern challenge from Japan, who defeated them 3-2 in an international friendly last October. “We need to play with our heads and hearts, and be clear about what we want to do,” Ancelotti said, adding that his team are prepared for every possibility, including extra time and penalties. Brazil captain Marquinhos described the previous defeat to Japan as a valuable learning experience, while Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu said his players have grown stronger as a unit heading into the knockout rounds. The winners will face either Ivory Coast or Norway in the last 16. Germany, four-time world champions, meet Paraguay at Gillette Stadium near Boston in their first World Cup knockout match since lifting the trophy in 2014. Julian Nagelsmann’s side finished top of their group after victories over Curacao and Ivory Coast before losing to Ecuador. Although not considered among the tournament favourites, Nagelsmann insisted Germany’s ambition remains to win every match. Forward Kai Havertz said he, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala are close to producing their best form after improving steadily throughout the group stage. Paraguay, appearing in the knockout phase for the first time since 2010, qualified as one of the best third-placed teams but face a difficult challenge after travelling across the United States following the group stage. The winner will meet either France or Sweden in the last 16. The standout fixture of the day sees three-time runners-up the Netherlands face 2022 semi-finalists Morocco in Monterrey, Mexico. Both nations are ranked among the world’s top eight and boast squads packed with talent from Europe’s leading leagues. Morocco’s squad includes Dutch-born defender Noussair Mazraoui and forward Ismael Saibari, who is set to join Bayern Munich after helping PSV Eindhoven win the Dutch league title. Canada have already secured their place in the last 16 after defeating South Africa 1-0 in Los Angeles. Captain Stephen Eustaquio scored the winner deep into stoppage time to send the co-hosts into the knockout phase for the first time. Canada coach Jesse Marsch said the achievement would inspire football fans across the country. Elsewhere, Saudi Arabia Football Federation president Yasser al-Misehal resigned after the Green Falcons were eliminated in the group stage.
