Kaduna State Governor, Governor Uba Sani has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for stabilizing Nigeria’s economy and restoring investors’ confidence.
The governor who stated this in a chat with TVC News, highlighted the gains of President Tinubu’s official visit to Brazil.
Governor Sani, who was part of the presidential entourage, also said the visit signaled the growing global recognition of Nigeria’s economic potential.
“When you look at the time he came in, a lot of investors globally didn’t want to come to Nigeria to invest. But some of the reforms he initiated have really opened opportunities, not only for Nigerian businessmen but also for other people who want to invest in Nigeria
from across the world,” he recalled.
The governor pointed out that Tinubu’s decision to clear the $7 billion foreign exchange backlog was the turning point that reassured international investors of Nigeria’s financial credibility.
“Let me give an example before I move on: the issue of the $7 billion backlog that he was able to clear in the area of forex has really increased the level of confidence by investors who now come to Nigeria to invest,” he explained.
Governor Sani also underscored the strategic significance of the Brazil visit, noting that discussions with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva covered agriculture, renewable energy, skills development, and aviation investment.
“I’m happy that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu established a very important relationship with the Brazilian President, Lula da Silva.”
