The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has said Nigeria is open and ready for international investments and strategic partnerships.
Tunji-Ojo made the statement during a meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, Krzysztof Gawkowski, Ambassador Michal Cygan and other officials in Abuja.
According to a statement on Thursday by the Ministry of Interior’s spokesperson, Mary Ali, the minister said ongoing economic reforms were aimed at boosting investor confidence and improving the business environment.
He cited reforms such as exchange rate unification, efforts to curb inflation and the removal of fuel subsidy as measures to strengthen the economy.
“Nigeria is ready for international investments and key partnerships. Recent economic changes the Nigerian government has made, such as unifying exchange rates, trying to control inflation, and taking away fuel subsidies are meant to reshape the economy and make investors feel more confident.
“We look forward to formalising our cooperation through official agreements and building practical solutions that will benefit both countries,” he said.
Tunji-Ojo described the visit as a milestone in bilateral relations between Nigeria and Poland, adding that both countries were laying the foundation for a sustainable partnership.
He said Nigeria was willing to deepen cooperation in areas such as border management, internal security, cybersecurity, innovation, technology transfer and institutional capacity building.
Earlier, Gawkowski commended Nigeria’s economic and demographic potential, describing it as a key partner for long-term cooperation.
“Nigeria is a nation with considerable economic, demographic, and technological potential, and Poland sees it as a key partner for long-term cooperation,” he said.
He said Poland was ready to support Nigeria with expertise in digitalisation, innovation and infrastructure development.
The Polish deputy prime minister also invited Tunji-Ojo to visit Poland to further strengthen bilateral relations between both countries.
