Nigeria Bows French Investors to Investment Reforms, Invites Them to Harness Opportunities Under Tinubu’s New Hope Agenda

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has welcomed French investors to capitalize on the growing opportunities in Nigeria, pointing to the country’s ambitious economic reforms and investor-friendly climate. Speaking to the Nigeria Business Forum in Paris on Thursday, Idris highlighted Nigeria’s reinvigorated economic momentum under the leadership of the President Bola Tinubu. The forum, hosted by Business France, drew more than 200 French companies and key players in the energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and technology industries. Idris praised veteran French companies with operations in Nigeria Total Energies, Lafarge, Peugeot, Danone, Alstom, and Schneider Electric for their continued efforts in important sectors of the Nigerian economy. He described the Tinubu government’s Renewed Hope Agenda, an eight-point economic plan, as powering ambitious reforms that are repositioning Nigeria as a more competitive, more transparent, and investor-friendly destination making Nigeria a gateway to Africa’s expanding market through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The Reforms The Minister listed some of these reforms in progress: Unification and stabilisation of the foreign exchange regime Phasing out fuel subsidies to redirect resources to development Cost-reflective electricity tariffs to ensure long-term energy sustainability Tax restructuring, strengthened legislative support, and ease of doing business Digitalisation of immigration and trade procedures to boost mobility and economic integration He also referred to Nigeria’s demographic edge of more than 220 million individuals, 70% of whom are under the age of 35, making it the largest and one of the youngest markets in Africa. With more than 26 years of uninterrupted democracy, Nigeria, he said, offers political stability and a rule-of-law economy backed by institutions like the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Idris asserted that in a mere 20 months, the policies of President Tinubu have reversed Nigeria’s fiscal direction to record 3.84% GDP growth in Q1 2024, over 20% revenue growth in the government, and reducing the debt service-to-revenue ratio. He also spotlighted key growth projects like the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund (RHIDF), Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CrediCorp), Presidential CNG Initiative, and MOFI Real Estate Investment Fund (MREIF) aim to mobilize trillions of naira of private sector investment. Idris invited French companies to invest in new areas such as livestock, with the new Ministry of Livestock Development in Nigeria offering new possibilities for partnership particularly with international leaders like Danone in key dairy space. Aside his business, the Minister will hold bilateral talks with major French institutions like France Médias Monde, ARCOM, the Ministry of Culture, and Thomson Broadcast with a perspective of improving Nigeria-France relations in media and cultural partnerships. In his own words, quoted by President Tinubu, Idris ended up: “We must brace up for the future with commitment and optimism, and with the courage of our founding fathers.” Related Posts Apostle Johnson Suleman Advises Against Overcommitting to Family Support in Recent Sermon Prominent preacher and founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, delivered a poignant message to his congregation, urging them Read more Grimes Accuses Elon Musk of Neglecting Their Son’s Health, Claims Shadowban on X Singer Grimes has taken to X to call out Elon Musk, the owner of X.

Spotify Paid $59m as Royalty to Nigerian and South African Artists in 2024

Spotify paid out to Nigerian and South African artists — its two largest African markets — to the tune of about $59 million in 2024, a staggering boost in earnings for African artists across the world. The music streaming site paid a total of $10 billion in royalties globally in the last year, as the world grows more hungry for music from Africa. As a relatively small portion of Spotify’s global library, the continent’s strength only continues to build and grow at an enormous rate, led by globally recognized artists Nigeria’s Burna Boy and South Africa’s Tyla. According to reports Spotify remitted royalties to artists in Nigeria and South Africa — its two largest African markets — as much as about $59 million in 2024, a significant increase in revenue for African artists worldwide. The music streaming service distributed a total of $10 billion in royalties worldwide last year, a growing demand for music throughout the continent everywhere. While still a relatively tiny percentage of Spotify’s global catalog, its reach is expanding exponentially, fueled by artists known worldwide such as Nigeria’s Burna Boy and South Africa’s Tyla. Spotify revealed that approximately 250 million user-generated playlists now include at least one Nigerian artist, while South African acts appear in over 220 million playlists. “What we’re seeing is an excellent evolution around more and more mid-tier or up-and-coming artists making a living,” said Jocelyne Muhutu-Remy, Spotify’s managing director for Sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, the number of artists earning in excess of 10 million naira annually from Spotify doubled during the previous year and tripled since 2022. In South Africa, the number of artists earning between 100,000 and 500,000 rand doubled within the last three years, revealing the contribution of the streaming service to transforming careers in music in the continent.

Nigeria Now Has Debt N144.67tn Debt as at 2024

Nigeria public debt increased to N144.67tn ($94.23bn) as of December 31, 2024, a 48.58 per cent increase from the N97.34tn ($108.23bn) at the end of December 2023. This was disclosed by the Debt Management Office in its latest report on the nation’s debt profile published on Friday, April 4. The report also found a quarter-on-quarter growth of 1.65 per cent to N142.32tn ($88.89bn) as of September 2024, and pointed out an enhancing growth in debt levels in the fourth quarter of the year. According to the DMO, “The public debt growth was largely triggered by sharp upticks in both external and domestic borrowing.” Nigeria’s external debt has grown 83.89 per cent from N38.22tn ($42.50bn) at December 2023 to N70.29tn ($45.78bn) at December 2024, a win fueled by fresh external borrowings and the impact of naira depreciation, which lifted the value of naira-denominated dollar-denominated loans. Domestic debt also experienced a sharp increase of 25.77 per cent, from N59.12tn ($65.73bn) to N74.38tn ($48.44bn) over the same timeframe. The Federal Government domestic debt increased from N53.26tn to N70.41tn, an increase of 32.19 per cent, showing an increased reliance on domestic borrowing to cover budget deficits and infrastructural development. Domestic debt of the states and the Federal Capital Territory, however, decreased from N5.86tn to N3.97tn, which was a 32.27 per cent reduction. The DMO further stated that the reduction “points to a more cautious attitude by some subnational governments towards debt build-up within the year.” Monthly, the public debt increased by N2.35tn between September and December 2024. External debt increased by N1.4tn, from N68.89tn ($43.03bn) to N70.29tn ($45.78bn), while domestic debt increased slightly by 1.29 per cent from N73.43tn ($45.87bn) to N74.38tn ($48.44bn). The Federal Government’s domestic debt rose from N69.22tn to N70.41tn in the third quarter, while the states’ and FCT’s debt fell from N4.21tn to N3.97tn, representing a decline of 5.69 per cent. As of 2024 year-end, Nigeria’s total public debt had external debt constituting 48.59 per cent, while domestic debt made up 51.41 per cent. This was a relatively balanced structure, despite analysts’ concern with rising foreign debt to fund gaps. External debt composition shows that the Federal Government borrowed N62.92tn ($40.98bn) while the states and the FCT borrowed N7.37tn ($4.80bn). The domestic debt shows that the Federal Government owed a total of N70.41tn ($45.86bn) while the states and the FCT owed N3.97tn ($2.58bn). The DMO’s reports have raised fresh concerns among economists about Nigeria’s finances. The sharp increase in external debt, for example, is a reflection of increased exposure to exchange rate risk and international economic shifts. With the naira continuing to depreciate, the cost of funding Nigeria’s foreign debt may further put a strain on public finances.

World Bank Approves $1.08 Billion Loan to Support Nigeria’s Education, Nutrition, and Economic Recovery

The World Bank has greenlit $1.08 billion in concessional financing to bolster Nigeria’s efforts to improve education, nutrition, and economic resilience, particularly for vulnerable populations. The funding, split across three initiatives, targets critical gaps in social services and aims to cushion the impacts of recent economic reforms. A $500 million top-up to Nigeria’s Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES) Programme will expand support for households grappling with the fallout of the 2023 fuel subsidy removal and foreign exchange reforms. Originally launched to counter COVID-19 disruptions, NG-CARES has already reached over 15 million people with livelihood grants, food security aid, and small-business assistance. The additional funding will sustain social transfers, public works projects, and grants to help communities navigate ongoing economic pressures. According to lindaikejisblog, separate $80 million allocation will fuel the Accelerating Nutrition Results in Nigeria (ANRIN 2.0) project, which focuses on improving maternal and child nutrition. The initiative targets pregnant women, lactating mothers, adolescent girls, and children under five, aiming to scale access to essential nutrition services, fortified foods, and education on feeding practices. Building on its earlier phase—which reached 13 million children between 2018 and 2024—the program aligns with Nigeria’s national development goals to reduce malnutrition and strengthen health systems. The third tranche, a 500 million investment in the Hope for Quality Basic Education for All (HOPE−EDU) project, seeks to overhaul Nigeria’s basic education system. The initiative will prioritize foundational literacy and numeracy, expand access to quality schooling, and modernize education management.

Trump Condemns 14% Import Tariff by Nigeria

President Donald Trump of United States of America imposed enormous worldwide tariffs on every import to the country, condemning 14 percent for Nigeria. In 2023 figures put out by Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), Nigeria exported $6.29 billion to US. The major exports were crude petroleum ($4.73 billion), petroleum gas ($920 million), and nitrogenous fertilisers ($167 million). The exports of Nigeria to the US from the past five years have expanded at an average rate of 1.59 percent from $5.81 billion in 2018 to $6.29 billion in 2023, OEC indicates. Trump’s executive order imposes a “baseline” tariff of 10 percent on every import and country-specific retaliatory tariff rates against over 60 nations. He directed foreign leaders “soon to be calling to ask for exemptions from these tariffs” to lead the way. Some aspects of the order had different effective dates, some beginning as early as in a matter of hours. “Starting at midnight, we will impose a 25-percent tariff on foreign cars,” Trump stated. The “baseline” 10 percent tariff would be effective April 5, and the higher rates on several partners would be in effect April 9. According to the US government, Nigeria charges 27 percent tariffs against the US. The report had taken into consideration currency manipulation and trade barriers to add to the figure. In retaliation, Trump imposed a 14 percent retaliatory tariff on Nigeria. Mexico and China, already reeling from previously imposed tariffs, were hit with additional rates.

New Horizons Nigeria Offers Lifetime Employment to Visually Impaired NYSC Member in Historic Inclusion Initiative

In a landmark action of corporate social responsibility and commitment to workplace inclusion, New Horizons Nigeria has offered lifetime employment to Olayinka Akinbiyi, a visually impaired National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member. This project demonstrates the organisations dedication to providing equal opportunities to physically challenged individuals. Olayinka, who lost her eyesight at two years of age due to measles and was the victim of losing her mother at birth, has risen above challenges to achieve a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Benin. Her resolve was what caught the attention of New Horizons’ Managing Director, Mr. Tim Akano, who paid a visit to the NYSC state coordinator. Touched by her resolve, Akano vowed not just to provide her with specialized ICT training but to also offer her a lifetime job. New Horizons, one of the prominent ICT training institutions in Nigeria, has played a critical role in empowering young Nigerians with ICT skills, providing over 20,000 scholarships every year. In line with its mission to include everyone, the organization is undergoing ICT training specifically for people who are visually impaired. She will also be assigned to a visually impaired school in Oshodi, where she will train other visually impaired students based on her new ICT skills. Aside from training, New Horizons is ensuring Olayinka’s economic security in the future by promising to pay her a lifetime wage an unprecedented move that sets a high standard for workplace inclusion in Nigeria. The organization is also extending its assistance to the school, doubling its efforts in empowering physically challenged persons through education and technology. This initiative falls under the ambit of the broader vision of the new Tim Akano Foundation, which has initiated a series of community development programs, including school rehabilitations and the NYSC+ (PLUS) mentorship program. The foundation aims to bridge the gap between jobs and education and position Nigerian youth for career and leadership success. Through this bold step, New Horizons Nigeria is proving that true inclusion goes beyond rhetoric it requires action, investment, and a commitment to lasting change. Olayinka Akinbiyi’s journey is no longer just a story of resilience; it is now a beacon of hope for countless others striving for a future where ability, not disability, defines one’s opportunities.

However, 2024 has seen an even greater inflow of funds with $4.32 billion approved to date.

Nigeria, China Strengthen Executive-Legislative Cooperation for Strategic Partnership

LEADERSHIP reports that Both the Nigerian and Chinese governments have adopted an all-embracing approach towards institutionalizing cooperation between executives and legislatures. Executive vice chairman and CEO, Merited Negotiation Consulting, Kunle Yusuff, the one that made this announcement, stated that the action is a new dawn in the economic and diplomatic relations of the two nations. In his opinion, the president’s appointment of Dr. Joseph Tegbe as director general of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership and Global Liaison is a point of take-off of an abundance of experience and unambiguous mandate to drive the executive blueprint that will advance Nigeria’s collaboration with China in important areas such as trade, infrastructure, technology, and cultural exchange. “Supporting this executive effort is the National Assembly’s Committee on Nigeria-China Parliamentary Relations, led by Hon. Jaafaru Yakubu and chaired by Hon. Uche Okonkwo.”This parliamentary committee has the demanding task of working out visionary bills to decongest the business environment and deepen bilateral cooperation.”.
