The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended President Bola Tinubu’s reformist economic agenda, saying it has repositioned Nigeria as Africa’s leading investment destination.
In a statement on Monday, the party’s spokesperson, Mr. Seye Oladejo, said Tinubu’s policies were restoring global confidence and opening the economy to fresh capital inflows.
He highlighted recent engagements with billionaire financier Bayo Ogunlesi, Chairman and CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), who described Nigeria as “an investors’ delight and Africa’s foremost destination for opportunity.” Ogunlesi’s global reputation in aviation, energy, and infrastructure, Oladejo said, lends weight to this renewed optimism.
Oladejo noted that Tinubu’s administration had engaged top multinationals such as Microsoft, Shell, Siemens Energy, ExxonMobil, and GE Vernova, which have signalled readiness to expand investments. He listed Microsoft’s digital partnership, Shell’s multibillion-dollar gas projects, and Siemens’ power expansion drive as examples of tangible investor confidence.
According to him, Tinubu’s policy decisions—including fuel subsidy removal, foreign exchange unification, and tax rationalisation—had restored clarity and credibility to Nigeria’s economy, sending strong signals to international markets.
The APC spokesperson also pointed to transformative infrastructure projects like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Abuja-Kano rail line, and the Lekki Deep Sea Port corridor, which he said were already attracting new investment opportunities.
He added that energy partnerships with TotalEnergies, NLNG, and NDPHC, alongside $14 billion commitments from Middle Eastern investors during Tinubu’s visits to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, underscored the momentum.
“Tinubu’s reforms have replaced uncertainty with confidence, and rhetoric with results,” Oladejo said. “While the opposition spreads cynicism, the administration is winning global respect and drawing job-creating investors. The verdict is clear—Nigeria is back on the global investment map.”
