Speaking at a panel discussion titled “Fostering local value chains and investments in Africa – The role of the German private sector” during the G20 Compact with Africa Economic Conference in Berlin, hosted by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, President Bola Tinubu emphasized that, beyond its abundant natural resources, Nigeria’s greatest asset in the race for new investments is its highly educated, skilled, and industrious population.

President Tinubu underscored the pivotal role of Nigeria’s energetic youth population and well-educated citizens in attracting foreign investments. While acknowledging the importance of promoting the rule of law for foreign investment, he asserted that Nigeria’s people constitute the primary incentive for investors, presenting an opportunity for a mutually-beneficial economic resurgence akin to China’s.

In his address to foreign investors, President Tinubu conveyed the message that Nigeria is a viable and promising investment destination.
