Global Infrastructure Partners led by its chairman Bayo Ogunlesi, has announced plans to broaden its investments in Nigeria, describing the country as an increasingly attractive destination for international capital.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ogunlesi disclosed this after a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House. The meeting focused on reforms shaping the nation’s economy and how to channel them into sustainable growth.
Ogunlesi said, “We’re making investments in Nigeria. We explored additional opportunities. I’m not going to tell you what they are. Just wait, watch this space, you will see them.”
He praised Nigeria as an exciting place to invest in, citing policy changes such as subsidy removal, tax reforms, the operation of local refineries, and steps taken to unify the road ownership system.
According to the GIP chairman, these measures provide fertile ground for international investors to support economic expansion.
The billionaire added that GIP will target sectors such as energy, aviation, ports, and renewable energy, noting that Nigeria’s vast gas resources make it a prime hub for large-scale investment.
Also speaking, Hakeem Belo-Osagie, chairman of Metis Capital, commended Tinubu’s policies, stressing that when Nigerians at home and abroad show confidence by investing in their country, it signals to the global community that Nigeria is ready for growth.
He said, “We thank President Tinubu for his policies. They have made Nigeria investable”, assuring that ongoing and future projects will contribute to building a fast-growing economy.
