The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has affirmed that Nigeria’s economy is on an upward trajectory with promising investment opportunities.
He made this statement on Thursday in Abuja while receiving a high-level delegation from First Abu Dhabi Bank, led by Group Head of Investment Banking, Martin Tricaud, to discuss investment prospects and strategic partnerships.
Edun noted Nigeria’s economic progress over the past 18 months, citing key reforms such as market-driven pricing for foreign exchange and petroleum, increased trade through the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, and stronger revenue growth in both oil and non-oil sectors.
He stated that these measures had stabilized the economy, boosted GDP growth, and strengthened the trade balance.
“The progress we have made in stabilising the economy and driving growth is a testament to our administration’s commitment to economic reform.
“We are eager to showcase these opportunities to investors and partners, like First Abu Dhabi Bank,” he said.
He highlighted efforts to enhance food production and affordability while ensuring long-term economic resilience.
