On debt sustainability, Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Mrs Patience Oniha, assured stakeholders of the government’s prudent borrowing strategy and commitment to responsible debt management.
The meeting drew participation from major global investment firms, including Citibank, Amundi, BlueCrest, Ninety One, Kirkoswald Capital, Principal Finisterre, Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM), and Mesarete Capital.
Several investors commended the administration’s reform agenda and expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic outlook. Some also sought clarity on the government’s long-term plans beyond 2027, with President Tinubu reiterating his commitment to policy consistency and enhanced fiscal discipline.
