President Bola Tinubu on Thursday said that reforms of his administration are attracting international recognition and investment.
The President pledged that further economic benefits were on the way to impact millions of lives.
Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President Bayo Onanuga in a statement said Tinubu while receiving a delegation from the research group Aseyori Tinubu, led by Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, described the multinationals’ growing interest in Nigeria as the product of collective effort across sectors to advance his reform agenda.
“Your capacity is exceedingly reliable, and your performance at the United Nations are very impressive,” the president told the delegation.
The President urged continued focus at the UN, saying the current moment represents an unusual opportunity for Nigeria to secure greater influence there.
“You know, this is an evolution that may not come back to our history in a very, very short time,” he said, calling on the delegation to press for a permanent UN seat.
President Tinubu also defended his economic program, saying the nation has emerged from its “darkest tunnel” and is now running a “very stable economy.”
He pointed to recent recoveries and policy steps as evidence the government is moving to consolidate growth and stability.
The President identified progress on student financing, noting the National Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) had received additional funding sourced from monies recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
He also cited resumed academic activity—“no more ASUU strike”—and improving security as signs of recovery.
In his remarks, Ambassador Ibrahim praised President Tinubu’s leadership in advancing peace and economic reform and credited presidential backing for his work at the United Nations.
He reaffirmed his commitment to securing a seat for Nigeria on the UN Security Council.
