A high-level delegation from JP Morgan, led by the head of West Africa, Dapo Olagunju, has met with Nigeria’s minister of Finance, Wale Edun, to discuss investment opportunities and the country’s economic outlook.
The delegation, which included major investors with significant holdings in Nigeria’s Eurobonds and local securities, was part of a fact-finding mission organised by JP Morgan for international institutional investors.
During the meeting at the finance ministry headquarters, Edun highlighted Nigeria’s recent economic milestones, including the successful issuance of a Eurobond without a roadshow, underscoring strong global investor confidence. He also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to market-driven reforms aimed at attracting foreign investment.
Edun outlined key developments in the energy sector, particularly new agreements with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to expand electricity access to 400,000 Nigerians in the initial phase.
On inflation concerns, he assured investors that the Central Bank of Nigeria is implementing orthodox monetary policies while the government works to enhance agricultural production and stabilise food prices.
The meeting reflects Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to strengthen investor confidence and drive economic growth through strategic international engagements.
