President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, says there is no better time for investors to come and invest in Nigeria than now.
He stated this in Bauchi during the Bauchi maiden Investment Summit organized by the state government in an effort to woo investors to the state.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the President explained that the country’s External Reserve had grown to 43 billion dollars in September.
“We came to office promising to turn around the fortune of the country while the death service to revenue ratio has shot up to about 100 per cent.
“Today, we are pleased to share that we have reduced it to less than 50 per cent. Our GDP gross rate as of last month stood at 4.23 per cent and oil revenues 411 per cent.
“Our external reserve has grown to 43 billion dollars as of September 2025 and I assure investors that there is no better time to join Nigeria than now,” said the President.
He advised that with its vast arable land, Bauchi state could also advance climate smart agriculture and commercial outgrower skills.
According to him, Bauchi’s natural assets and cultural heritage could boost tourism and hospitality while its renewable and gas potential could also power industrial processes through public private partnership.
“We urge prospective partners to engage with all the states and the relevant ministries, departments and agencies of the federal government to access support.
“I commend governor Mohammed and the Bauchi team for the decisive action to convey this summit and organised road shows across the nation to showcase investment opportunities,” he said.
Earlier speaking, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state promised to make the state a safer place to investors as well as their investments.
“We will make you and your investment safer than us. We will make you more important than us
“We are going to do a lot in terms of water resource management so that all our local governments will have water that will be driven by solar and gravity at a minimal cost,” said Mohammed.
Correspondents' Watch reports that the theme of the summit is Revealing a Resilient Economy: Optimizing Investment Partnerships.
