President Bola Tinubu has invited the United States business community to come and invest in Nigeria’s ‘bubbling’ economy.
Tinubu, who rang the closing bell at the Nasdaq Stock Market in New York on Wednesday, called on the United States business community to invest in Nigeria’s “bubbling market”.
The President, who is attending the ongoing 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, was accompanied to the bell ceremony by the President of the U.S.-Africa Business Center (USAfBC) at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Scott Eisner.
The closing bell ceremony, held at the seven-storey tower of the Nasdaq headquarters in New York, signifies the end of a trading session.
“I am happy to bring Nigeria to your doorsteps and honoured that we’re here today with a bubbling maket that will evolve the West African subregion,” Tinubu said.
“The greatest economy is Nigeria. There is an immense opportunity in Nigeria that you can invest your money without fear.
“We’ve removed a lot of the bottlenecks. We’ve cleared the subsidy that is corrupt and we’ve also retooled the exchange rate to a reliable, dependable one-figure floating of the exchange naira.”
