TINUBU’S FOREIGN TRIPS ATTRACT INVESTMENTS, BOOST GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS — APC


February 3, 2026 | 10:26 am

The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has stated that President Bola Tinubu’s foreign trips are generating tangible economic benefits for Nigeria, citing increased foreign investment and strengthened international partnerships as evidence.

In a statement issued by his media office, Yilwatda described the President’s trips as strategic engagements that have enhanced Nigeria’s global relations and attracted major foreign direct investment (FDI).

The APC chairman highlighted that since assuming office in May 2023, President Tinubu has visited key regions including Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, meeting leaders and investors in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, India, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Brazil.

“These missions have focused on economic cooperation, trade expansion, and strategic partnerships,” Yilwatda said. “Through these engagements, Nigeria has secured over $50 billion in FDI commitments across sectors including energy, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, technology, and infrastructure.”

The statement noted that these commitments are not merely promises, but are translating into actual capital inflows, job creation, and technology transfers that support the Nigerian economy.

Yilwatda also pointed to recent diplomatic successes, including the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with the United Arab Emirates, which aims to promote trade, investment, and collaboration in key sectors such as energy and agriculture.

Responding to critics who have described the President’s trips as excessive or unnecessary, the APC chairman said such views fail to consider the broader reform agenda of the administration. “Those who focus on cost without recognising returns are missing the bigger picture,” the statement read.

He further added that President Tinubu’s international engagements, combined with domestic economic reforms, demonstrate a commitment to transforming the Nigerian economy and improving living standards for citizens.

“The President has shown both vision and determination to implement the reforms this nation needs. Now is not the time for cynicism, but for unity and constructive support as these diplomatic and economic efforts begin to deliver tangible benefits,” the statement concluded.
