President Bola Tinubu has once again declared Nigeria’s full readiness to welcome global investors and patriotic Nigerians in the diaspora who are committed to national development.
Speaking in Lagos after strategic meetings with two of Nigeria’s foremost investment powerhouses Hakeem Belo-Osagie, Chairman of Metis Capital, and Bayo Ogunlesi @bayoOgunlesiA, Chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners (now part of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management firm) the President underscored his commitment to forging transparent, trust-driven partnerships.
Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, Tinubu’s administration has already rolled out sweeping reforms: from unifying the foreign exchange market and harmonizing taxes to subsidy removal and fiscal discipline. These bold steps, he said, are designed to rebuild investor confidence and attract long-term capital into key sectors such as infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing.
Tinubu’s rallying call to the diaspora whom he described as “sons of the soil” with the skills, capital, and global networks to drive transformation signals a new era of investment anchored in patriotism and productivity.
With investment heavyweights like Belo-Osagie and Ogunlesi now in focus, the President envisions Nigeria as the next big hub for value creation, technological advancement, and inclusive growth.
The message is clear: credible investors at home and abroad are being called to action Nigeria is open for business like never before.
