The Tinubu Media Support Group (TMSG) has described the presence of leading global investors at an economic meeting with President Bola Tinubu in France as a strong indication of growing international confidence in Nigeria’s economy.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Emeka Nwankpa, and Secretary, Dapo Okubanjo, the group said the development reflected the success of the President’s ongoing efforts to position Nigeria as an attractive investment destination.
TMSG said the meeting came at a time when opposition figures were criticising the state of the Nigerian economy, adding that the participation of reputable global financial institutions served as a response to such claims.
According to the group, institutions represented at the meeting included Citibank, Amundi, PGIM and Ninety One, all of which manage assets worth trillions of dollars globally.
It added that other participants included BlueCrest, Kirkoswald, Principal Finisterre and Mesarete Capital, which it described as highly rated multinational investment institutions.
The group noted that the investors were among the world’s most respected hedge fund managers and typically focus on emerging markets with strong growth prospects.
TMSG said the meeting represented a major vote of confidence in the Tinubu administration’s management of the economy, stressing that institutions of such calibre would only engage where there were credible investment opportunities.
The statement attributed the development to President Tinubu’s economic diplomacy since assuming office, saying the administration had consistently showcased reforms aimed at improving Nigeria’s investment climate.
According to the Group, discussions at the meeting focused on attracting investments needed to support Nigeria’s target of becoming a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
The group said the meeting also provided an opportunity for the President and his team to outline ongoing efforts to ensure policy stability, transparency, ease of doing business and disciplined implementation of economic reforms.
TMSG further expressed optimism that Nigeria’s reported 11.2 per cent GDP growth in dollar terms in 2025 would further attract investor interest.
The group urged Nigerians to pay closer attention to international investment engagements involving the President rather than opposition criticisms.
TMSG also dismissed claims by some opposition figures that President Tinubu’s visit to France was for medical reasons, describing the allegations as “absurd and outlandish.”
TMSG maintained that the President remained committed to strengthening fiscal discipline, improving transparency and ensuring policy consistency beyond 2027.
