President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed Nigeria’s readiness to partner with credible global investors, particularly Nigerians in the diaspora and other “sons of the soil,” as part of efforts to secure energy independence and drive Africa’s prosperity.
Speaking in Lagos after separate meetings with two of the nation’s foremost investment figures — Hakeem Belo-Osagie of Metis Capital and Bayo Ogunlesi of Global Infrastructure Partners & BlackRock — Tinubu described the partnerships as crucial to his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda (RHA).
Details of the engagements were shared on the President’s verified X handle, @officialABAT. The post read: “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 stressed that such collaborations are vital to transforming the country’s economic trajectory, adding that reforms under his administration are already reshaping the investment climate.
“Our administration’s reforms are creating a better enabling environment whilst opening new frontiers for sustainable financing, global capital, and transformative projects. We are determined to make Nigeria Africa’s premier investment destination,” Tinubu said.
The discussions with Belo-Osagie and Ogunlesi, both globally respected investment leaders, form part of Tinubu’s broader push to attract capital into Nigeria’s energy and infrastructure sectors — considered the backbone of his economic revival strategy.
