President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed Nigeria’s readiness to partner with credible global investors, including Nigerians in the diaspora, as part of efforts to secure energy independence and deliver modern infrastructure to drive prosperity across Africa.

Tinubu made the declaration yesterday in Lagos after separate meetings with two of the country’s foremost global investment figures – Hakeem Belo-Osagie of Metis Capital and Bayo Ogunlesi of Global Infrastructure Partners & BlackRock.

Highlights of the engagements were shared on the President’s verified X handle, @officialABAT. One 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 emphasized that his administration’s ongoing reforms are reshaping the investment climate and opening new frontiers for sustainable financing, global capital, and transformative projects.

“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 stated.

The meetings with Belo-Osagie and Ogunlesi are part of the President’s sustained efforts to attract large-scale investments into Nigeria’s energy and infrastructure sectors, which form critical pillars of his Renewed Hope Agenda (RHA).
