The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) notes with great satisfaction the renewed wave of global investor confidence in Nigeria\u2019s economy under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Recent expressions of interest by top international financiers – including the renowned billionaire investor Bayo Ogunlesi, Chairman and CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) – affirm that Nigeria has once again become an investor\u2019s delight and Africa\u2019s foremost destination for capital and opportunity.<\/p>\n
Bayo Ogunlesi\u2019s pedigree as one of the world\u2019s most respected investment figures, with vast interests in aviation, energy, and infrastructure, underscores the credibility of this renewed optimism. His renewed engagement with the Tinubu administration and willingness to explore investment opportunities in critical sectors – particularly infrastructure, power, and transport – signal a new era of global confidence in Nigeria\u2019s economic direction.<\/p>\n
This development comes on the heels of a series of high-profile investor engagements championed by President Tinubu, including meetings with Microsoft, ExxonMobil, Shell, Siemens Energy, and GE Vernova, all of whom have reaffirmed their readiness to expand operations and inject fresh capital into Nigeria\u2019s economy. Notably, Microsoft\u2019s new digital capacity partnership, Siemens\u2019 power infrastructure expansion under the Presidential Power Initiative, and Shell\u2019s renewed multibillion-dollar gas investment each underscore the growing confidence in Nigeria\u2019s stability and reform-driven governance.<\/p>\n
The Tinubu administration\u2019s decisive reforms – particularly the foreign exchange unification, fuel subsidy removal, and tax incentive rationalization – have restored policy clarity and credibility. These bold actions have sent a powerful message to global markets: Nigeria is open for business, committed to reform, and ready to protect and reward investment.<\/p>\n
Equally transformative is the President\u2019s focus on infrastructure renewal and public-private partnerships (PPPs). The revival of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the Abuja-Kano and Port Harcourt\u2013Maiduguri rail projects, and renewed efforts in the Lekki Deep Sea Port corridor have created new avenues for both domestic and foreign capital participation.<\/p>\n
Nigeria\u2019s energy and natural gas expansion drive has also attracted attention. The recent investment commitment of over $14 billion secured from Middle Eastern investors and multinational corporations during the President\u2019s visits to Saudi Arabia and Qatar further underscores this global reawakening. Similarly, the ongoing partnership with TotalEnergies, NLNG, and Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) represents tangible progress toward energy sufficiency and industrial competitiveness.<\/p>\n
These milestones are no accident – they are the result of deliberate policy consistency, credible economic management, and a President who understands both the global marketplace and Nigeria\u2019s boundless potential. President Tinubu\u2019s reformist approach has replaced uncertainty with confidence and replaced rhetoric with results.<\/p>\n
Lagos APC takes particular pride in this new chapter because it mirrors the proven Lagos development model – one that prioritizes innovation, infrastructure, and private sector partnership. It is the same vision that transformed Lagos into Nigeria\u2019s most prosperous and investment-friendly state, now being replicated across the nation under the Tinubu presidency.<\/p>\n
While the opposition remains busy peddling cynicism and false narratives, the Tinubu administration is winning global respect and attracting the kind of investors that create jobs, expand industries, and build sustainable prosperity.<\/p>\n
From Bayo Ogunlesi\u2019s renewed interest to Microsoft\u2019s digital investments and Siemens\u2019 power expansion, the verdict from global investors is clear: Nigeria is back on the world\u2019s investment radar – strong, stable, and full of promise.<\/p>\n
Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria is not just an investor\u2019s delight – it is Africa\u2019s economic frontier, wide open for business and growth.<\/p>\n
