President Bola Tinubu, yesterday, told French President Emmanuel Macron that Nigeria’s economy was being repositioned for more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) that would wholly impact the livelihoods of the citizens.
Tinubu echoed Nigeria’s commitment to enhancing cooperation in key sectors, such as defence, education, food security, energy, and solid minerals.
Tinubu is in Paris for a two-day state visit to France, the first by a Nigerian leader in more than two decades.
Speaking after meeting with Macron at the prestigious Palais des L’Élysée, Tinubu, at a joint press conference, highlighted the “vast, yet largely untapped, potential” within Nigeria’s agricultural sector and beckoned international investors to capitalise on the nation’s welcoming investment climate.
“The French-Nigeria Business Forum is doing a lot already, but we need to do more on food security. We cannot help but invest in another’s country,” he said.
He emphasised Nigeria’s flourishing financial sector as a facilitator of foreign investment, particularly from French enterprises, as part of the drive to bolster food security.
