Abuja, Oct. 25, 2023 – Atiku Bagudu, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, on Wednesday assured foreign investors of the safety of their investments in Nigeria and to seamlessly repatriate their profits.
The minister gave the assurance at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday at the end of the Nigeria Economic Group (NESG) conference.
Bagudu said that the government was committed to providing an enabling environment for both foreign and domestic investors in spite of the country’s multiple challenges,
“Nigeria is an investment haven for investors despite being faced with some challenges which President Bola Tinubu is currently working on and the result will show soon.
“Nigerians are a very resilient people. That we can gather the private sector to talk about putting money in Nigeria is a statement of resilience.
“I can read an online statement about a state and decide that I may never go there, but people live there and earn a living.
“Investments, particularly by the private sector, is a statement that we believe in our economy and these investments help us to dominate our environment.
“There are many places we had cases of insecurity, where people are afraid, but today, economic activity is resuming, and people are being reintegrated with various programmes.” (GBN)
