“We are reforming the economy to accommodate foreign investors. We are reforming the economy based on the principle of good governance,” Tinubu said.

Nigeria’s president maintained that the ongoing reforms serve as an assurance for investors to see Africa and most especially Nigeria as an investment destination.

“We have the best return on investment if you invest in Africa, particularly in Nigeria,” he said. “We are providing the best environment for you to invest. Today you can move your money in and out as you wish.”

He showcased Nigeria’s youthful population, saying “We have the youngest vibrant youth population.”

While speaking about investors perception of Africa as a risky business environment said “there is no environment without its unique risk. We have our challenges and we recognise it and we are working at it.”
