President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has met with global investors in Paris, France, emphasising transparency and fiscal discipline, and explaining the rationale for the swift implementation of bold reforms.
At the meeting, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, highlighted Nigeria's strong GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025.
He said Nigeria recorded 11.2% GDP growth in dollar terms last year, a record that reinforced the country's ambition to achieve a $1 trillion economy in 2030.
Oyedele emphasised the government's near-term priorities of translating reforms into results for the Nigerian people. He also pledged to publish quarterly financial data.
The Director General of the Debt Management Office, Mrs Patience Oniha, assured investors of the government’s responsible approach to debt financing and its focus on sustainable debt management.
The investors were from Citibank and France's Amundi, led by Valerie Baudson. There were also BlueCrest, the Britain- and South Africa-based Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, US groups Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM) and Mesarete Capital.
President Tinubu, who left Nigeria on Sunday for a three-nation trip, said the economic reform program of his administration includes measures to remove economic distortions and stabilise macroeconomic indicators, laying the foundation for sustained inclusive growth.
He said his government is committed to deepening reforms, enhancing transparency across the oil value chain, and implementing a multi-pronged security strategy, including police decentralisation and disrupting terrorist financing.
"The focus remains on policy stability and diligent execution to ensure these strategic shifts translate into concrete benefits for all Nigerians", President Tinubu said.
Some of the investors who spoke at the meeting commended the government's transformative reforms and expressed optimism about the Nigerian economy.
One of the investors asked President Tinubu about his post-2027 agenda. He promised to strengthen fiscal discipline and transparency, and to deliver policy consistency.

Dear @StatiSense,
Thank you for your commentary. Actually, what you posted is deceptive and manipulative. The Naira's value under General Buhari is not the same as under President Tinubu, and quantifying Nigeria's total debt solely in Naira, without context, given that much of that debt is external loans taken out in dollars, paints a false picture of financial profligacy by the Tinubu government.
Here are the facts that you failed to tell Nigerians.
When President Jonathan handed over to General Buhari on May 29, 2015, Nigeria's total public debt was $63.8 billion, equivalent to ₦12.1 trillion.
From $63.8 billion, Nigeria's total public debt rose to $108.2 billion on May 29, 2023, when General Buhari handed over to President Tinubu.
I have attached official figures from the Debt Management Office showing a snapshot of Nigeria's debt on the handover date (it is published quarterly, which is why it is dated March 31, 2023) for your information. Please note that this is directly from the DMO and has not been altered by me. You may want to visit https://t.co/HCmS2NDJsy to verify this data.
When you add 'illegal' debts taken but not declared by that administration, the figure rises to $113 billion, possibly higher. Some of that debt is why the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria is on trial.
As of today, Nigeria's total public debt is $103.9 billion. It has actually reduced!
While our total debt rose by $44.4 billion under General Buhari (or $50 billion if you add irregular debt), in contrast, total public debt under President Tinubu has actually decreased by $4.3 billion (or $9.1 billion when you account for the unapproved debts under Buhari).
However, due to the change in the Naira's value resulting from the flotation of our currency under the Tinubu administration, quantifying our total public debt in Naira gives the false impression that it has risen.
Can you please tell Nigerians the dollar amount of their total public debt on May 29, 2023, versus the current dollar amount, rather than giving them Naira figures without context?
I hope you will use your good offices to correct the wrong impression you have given. Thank you.
