The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, recently met with a high-level delegation from JP Morgan to review investment opportunities in Nigeria. The delegation, led by Dapo Olagunju, Head of JP Morgan West Africa, was part of a fact-finding trip organized to explore economic strategies and potential investments in the region.
According to the Ministry’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Mohammed Manga, the delegation included major investors with significant holdings in Nigeria’s Eurobonds and local securities. Their visit aimed to gain deeper insights into the country’s economic landscape.
During the meeting, Edun highlighted Nigeria’s recent economic achievements, including a successful Eurobond transaction that was completed without a roadshow due to strong global investor engagement. He also emphasized President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to attracting foreign investment through strategic international engagements and market-driven reforms.
The Minister further discussed key developments in the energy sector, such as new agreements with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to expand electricity access to 400,000 Nigerians in the initial phase.
On inflation, Edun assured investors that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is implementing orthodox monetary policies, while the government is actively working to boost agricultural production and stabilize food prices.
