Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s President-elect, has embarked on a working visit to Europe with the aim of enhancing the transition plans and programmes, as well as his policy options with some of his key aides. Tinubu will use this opportunity to meet with investors and other key allies to promote investment opportunities in Nigeria and create a business-friendly environment through policies and regulations.
During his visit, the President-elect is expected to engage with multi-sectoral actors in Europe’s business community, which includes manufacturing, agriculture, technology, and energy, to convince them of Nigeria’s readiness to do business under his leadership through mutually-beneficial partnerships based on job creation and skills acquisition. He hopes to market investment opportunities in the country and his administration’s readiness to enable a business-friendly climate through policies and regulations.
Nigeria’s President-elect Promises to Revive Nigeria’s Economy
Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda is hinged on reviving the country’s economy. The meeting with investors in Europe is part of his efforts to re-establish Nigeria’s importance in the global economic chain and create empowering opportunities for the country’s huge youth population. Tinubu’s plan is to make Nigeria more attractive to foreign investors by creating a business-friendly environment, increasing job opportunities and skills acquisition.
The President-elect promised to hit the ground running and has already started talks with global actors in the important areas of the economy and security. His visit to Europe is reflective of his commitment to the promise. With meetings already lined up with investors and key allies in Europe, Tinubu is determined to create a business-friendly environment in Nigeria and revive its economy.
Before leaving Nigeria, the President-elect met with Nigeria’s House of Representatives candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker endorsed by his party, the All Progressives Congress. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin Kalu were presented to him by the Joint Task Team of the House. Tinubu’s meeting with the House of Representatives candidates demonstrates his commitment to building a cohesive and collaborative government that will work towards Nigeria’s economic development and security.
