President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Thursday, said Nigeria is ready for business, and assured investors that the country is prepared to welcome them.
President Tinubu gave the assurance on Thursday in Paris, France when he received President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of African Export-Import Bank (Afrexim), Prof. Benedict Oramah, and President of European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Odile Reaud-Basso, in separate meetings, on the sidelines of the Summit for New Global Financing Pact.
Tinubu assured the delegation of Afrexim Bank executives, led by Oramah, that the federal government would continue to stimulate the economy with policies that support investments in areas of Nigeria’s competitive advantage, particularly agriculture.
“We need reforms for national survival,” he added, noting that repositioning the economy would take boldness and courage.
“We must stimulate recovery for the growth and prosperity of our people, which will not be far away. Nigeria is ready for global business and our reform is total,” he said.
“Nigeria is blessed with human and material resources.”
The President, who asked investors to take advantage of the opportunities in Nigeria, was also quoted, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Dele Alake, as assuring the delegation of AfreximBank executives led by Dr Oramah that the federal government will continue to stimulate the economy with policies that support investments in areas of Nigeria’s competitive advantage, particularly agriculture.
