President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to fighting corruption and creating a conducive business environment.
He urged Qatari investors to inform him if any Nigerian government official requests a bribe from them.
Tinubu made this statement during the Nigeria-Qatar Business and Investment Forum in Doha on Sunday. He assured that his administration would take decisive action against any entrenched interests within the nation that undermine investor confidence in the Nigerian economy.
“I am here to assure you that reforms are underway; disregard whatever you may have heard in the past. Any obstacles or problems you may have encountered are in the past because there will be no hindrances in the future.
“Do not offer bribes to any of our officials, and if asked or taken from you, report it to us. You will have direct access to me.
“Nigeria will no longer be defined by its past but by what we do now and moving forward. Do not let perceptions hinder your desire to invest. Nigeria is committed to revolutionizing investment promotion.

These agreements cover various areas including education, employment regulations, establishment of a joint business council, and cooperation in youth and sports.

He stressed the government’s commitment to implementing the right solutions and working collaboratively with partners, affirming Nigeria’s readiness for serious business opportunities.
