The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, and a high-level delegation from JP Morgan, have met to review investment opportunities in Nigeria.
The Ministry’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Mr. Mohammed Manga, in a statement last weekend, said the delegation was led by Dapo Olagunju, Head of JP Morgan West Africa.
The meeting, which was held in Edun’s office in Abuja, was part of a fact-finding trip organised by JP Morgan, aimed at exploring investment opportunities and economic strategies in the region.
The delegation, which included major investors with significant holdings in Nigeria’s Eurobonds and local securities, was part of an exploratory visit organised by JP Morgan for a diverse group of international institutional investors seeking insights into the nation’s economic landscape.
During the discussions, according to Manga, the Minister highlighted Nigeria’s recent economic milestones, including a successful Eurobond transaction completed without a road-show due to strong global investor engagement.
He emphasised President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing efforts to attract foreign investment through strategic international engagements and reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to market-driven reforms.
Edun also pointed to key developments in the energy sector, including new agreements with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) aimed at expanding electricity access to 400,000 Nigerians in the first instance.
On inflation, the Minister assured investors that the Central Bank of Nigeria is implementing orthodox
monetary policies while the government works to boost agricultural production and stabilise food prices.
