President Bola Tinubu has assured global investors that his administration would remove all obstacles hindering ease of doing business in Nigeria.
Speaking at the Nigeria-Qatar Business and Investment Forum held in Doha on Sunday, Tinubu urged genuine investors to report to him directly, any official who obstructed progress or asked for bribe in the course of any dealings in Nigeria.
The president said that Nigeria was ready for serious business as his administration would deal with entrenched interests that had been undermining investors’ confidence in the country’s economy.
Tinubu pledged that the war against corruption and insecurity in Nigeria had been significantly strengthened with the appointment of a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Nuhu Ribadu as National Security Adviser (NSA).
The Emir of the State of Qatar, His Highness, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, emphasised that Qatar is open to President Tinubu’s investment push, recalling that he travelled to Nigeria in 2019, owing to his belief that Nigeria is an important and strategic ally on its own and within the context of its role in regional affairs.
