In an address at the State House in Abuja on Thursday, July 23, 2026, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu affirmed that his administration’s economic and structural reforms are gaining widespread international commendation and driving renewed global investment into Nigeria.
Speaking while hosting a delegation from the research organization Aseyori Tinubu, led by Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, President Tinubu noted that foreign multinationals are increasingly seeking strategic partnerships across key sectors of the Nigerian economy.

He urged research bodies to continue producing data-driven insights to reinforce the country’s political and socio-economic governance frameworks.
In his remarks, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim commended President Tinubu’s leadership in repositioning Nigeria on the global stage, stating that the administration’s policy direction has transformed international perceptions and opened unprecedented avenues for foreign direct investment.
Ambassador Ibrahim reaffirmed his total commitment to advancing Nigeria’s diplomatic objectives at the United Nations, assuring the President that the mission remains steadfast in securing broader African representation and a permanent seat on the Security Council.
