Tinubu Selling Nigeria With Credibility, Reforms Attracting Investors — Oyedele

Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for aggressively promoting Nigeria’s economic potential on the global stage, saying the administration’s reforms are already attracting investor confidence across key sectors.

Speaking after engagements at the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, Oyedele described Tinubu as Nigeria’s “chief marketer,” noting that the President has consistently used international platforms to showcase investment opportunities and ongoing economic reforms.

According to him, discussions during the summit focused largely on how to mobilise more investments into Nigeria, particularly in the power sector, mining, port development, and private enterprise support.

Oyedele said global investors were responding positively because the administration was not merely making promises but demonstrating practical reforms already being implemented.

“One very exciting thing about Mr President is that he is never tired of marketing Nigeria. He is the chief marketer for the country,” Oyedele said.

He added that Tinubu’s track record and commitment to reform gave credibility to Nigeria’s investment drive and strengthened confidence among international business leaders.

The fiscal policy expert noted that engagements at the forum highlighted Nigeria’s vast untapped potential and the need for African nations to better tell their economic stories to the world.

He revealed that investors showed interest in sectors including solid minerals, power infrastructure, private sector financing, and port expansion projects.

Oyedele also spoke on Tinubu’s meeting with the President of Guinea, describing the interaction as cordial and strategic for regional cooperation.

According to him, Tinubu commended the Guinean leader for maintaining ties with the Economic Community of West African States despite pressures to withdraw.

He said both countries explored opportunities for stronger partnerships, especially in development projects and iron ore collaboration.

“We are stronger together,” Oyedele stated, adding that both leaders expressed satisfaction with the outcome of their discussions.

Speaking further on Nigeria’s economic reforms, Oyedele said the country had become a practical example of bold policy implementation in Africa.

He acknowledged that the reforms were difficult but necessary to reposition the economy for sustainable growth.

The tax reform committee chairman stressed that conversations at the Africa CEO Forum centred on scale, speed, and building credible institutions capable of driving long-term development across the continent.

He said African leaders and investors recognised that the era of rhetoric had passed and that attention must now shift to execution, industrial growth, value addition, and job creation.

Oyedele added that sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, technology, and services remained critical to lifting millions of Africans out of poverty and accelerating economic transformation across the continent.
