President Bola Ahmed Tinubu


The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms, saying they have restored global investor confidence and positioned Nigeria as Africa’s leading investment destination.


In a statement issued on Monday by its spokesman, Hon. Seye Oladejo, the party said the recent expressions of interest from major international financiers, including billionaire investor Bayo Ogunlesi, Chairman and CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), underscore the growing confidence in Nigeria’s economy.


According to the statement, Ogunlesi’s engagement with the Tinubu administration and interest in sectors such as infrastructure, power, and transport signal renewed optimism in the country’s investment climate.


The Lagos APC cited several recent investor engagements by President Tinubu with global corporations such as Microsoft, ExxonMobil, Shell, Siemens Energy, and GE Vernova, noting that these companies have pledged to expand their operations and inject fresh capital into Nigeria.


It listed Microsoft’s digital capacity partnership, Siemens’ ongoing power infrastructure expansion, and Shell’s multibillion-dollar gas projects as examples of renewed global confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction.


The party attributed the surge in investor interest to key policy reforms, including the unification of foreign exchange rates, removal of fuel subsidies, and rationalisation of tax incentives. 


It added that the administration’s focus on public-private partnerships and infrastructure renewal, such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and key railway projects, is attracting both local and international capital.


It also pointed to recent $14 billion commitments from Middle Eastern investors and multinational corporations, alongside energy partnerships involving TotalEnergies, NLNG, and the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), as signs of Nigeria’s growing economic momentum.


Oladejo described Tinubu’s approach as a continuation of the successful Lagos development model, driven by innovation, infrastructure, and private sector collaboration. 


He said the President’s policies have “replaced uncertainty with confidence and rhetoric with results.”


While accusing the opposition of “peddling cynicism,” the Lagos APC maintained that the Tinubu administration’s reform-driven governance is winning global respect and driving real investment capable of generating jobs and long-term prosperity.

The Media Rights Agenda (MRA) on Tuesday called on Federal and State Governments to make human rights a lived reality for all Nigerians in accordance with their constitutional obligation to recognize and maintain human dignity.  It said that by so doing, they could begin to rebuild public trust in government, foster national unity, and unlock the true potential of the Nigerian people. In a statement issued in Lagos to commemorate this year’s International Human Rights Day, MRA lamented that the promise of human rights contained in the Constitution as well as in regional and international instruments that Nigeria is party to, has remained unfulfilled for far too many citizens as the country has spiraled into a jungle where only the fittest survive and human life has little value. MRA’s Programme Officer, Ms Esther Adeniyi, said in the statement: “The Federal Government has duties and obligations under international law to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. It cannot claim to ...
