The Tinubu Media Support Group (TMSG) has said the calibre of global investors that attended President Bola Tinubu’s economic engagement in France reflects growing international confidence in Nigeria’s economy and reform agenda.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Emeka Nwankpa, and Secretary, Dapo Okubanjo, the group said the participation of leading global financial institutions at the meeting underscored the increasing credibility of Nigeria as an investment destination under the Tinubu administration.
According to the group, the engagement came at a time when opposition figures were portraying the Nigerian economy negatively, adding that the presence of major international investment firms was a direct rebuttal to such claims.
TMSG listed institutions present at the meeting to include Citibank, Amundi, PGIM, Ninety One, Blue Crest, Kirkoswald, Principal Finisterre and Mesarete Capital, describing them as globally respected investment and hedge fund institutions managing trillions of dollars in assets.
The group said such investors only show interest in economies with strong growth prospects and stable policy direction.
“It is a major vote of confidence in the effective handling of Nigeria’s economy by the Bola Tinubu administration. No institution of that calibre would commit time and attention if there was nothing substantial at stake,” the statement said.
TMSG attributed the development to President Tinubu’s economic diplomacy and reform-driven engagements since assuming office, noting that the administration had consistently projected Nigeria as a credible and competitive investment destination.
The group disclosed that discussions at the meeting focused largely on attracting investments needed to support Nigeria’s target of becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2030.
It added that the President and his economic team also used the opportunity to highlight ongoing reforms aimed at ensuring policy stability, improving transparency, enhancing ease of doing business and sustaining disciplined economic management.
TMSG further argued that Nigeria’s reported 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025 would likely boost investor interest in the country.
The group urged Nigerians to pay closer attention to strategic economic engagements by the President rather than opposition narratives, which it described as politically motivated.
It also dismissed claims by some opposition figures that President Tinubu travelled to France for medical reasons, describing the allegations as “absurd and outlandish.”
“We wonder whether global investors like Citibank now operate medical facilities,” the group queried.
TMSG expressed confidence that the Tinubu administration would sustain its reform agenda beyond 2027 through stronger fiscal discipline, improved transparency and policy consistency.
