APC excited as Tinubu’s global diplomacy secures $50b FDI
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has commended President Bola Tinubu for his strategic international engagements and the measurable gains Nigeria has recorded through sustained diplomatic and economic outreach.
According to him, Nigeria has already secured over $50 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) commitments through Tinubu’s diplomatic drive, with major companies and sectors committing to investments that span energy, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, technology, and infrastructure.
Yilwatda, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Communications Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, said the president’s foreign travels and meetings with global leaders were not ceremonial but purposeful actions that have strengthened Nigeria’s global partnerships and attracted significant foreign investment into the nation.
“Mr. President’s engagements with strategic global partners underscore his unwavering commitment to advancing Nigeria’s economic interests. These visits have helped reposition our country on the world stage, yielding tangible benefits that will support long-term prosperity,” he stated.
Yilwatda applauded the president for negotiating agreements that prioritise Nigeria’s growth and sustainable development.
He also pointed to recent diplomatic achievements such as the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates, designed to deepen trade, investment, and cooperation across critical sectors including energy and agriculture.
Addressing critics who have described the President’s international travels as “overdone” or unnecessary, Yilwatda said such perspectives reflected short-sightedness and a lack of appreciation for the broader reform trajectory the administration has championed.
“Those who focus on the cost without recognising the returns are missing the bigger picture. Nigeria’s reform programme under President Tinubu is bold, strategic, and necessary.
“We urge all Nigerians to support these efforts with patience, knowing that the dividends will be felt across the economy. Mr. President has shown both the vision and the determination to see through 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 translate into tangible improvements in people’s lives,” Yilwatda said.
He added that APC remained committed to amplifying the positive impacts of Nigeria’s international engagements and ensuring that global partnerships contribute directly to national growth, job creation, and shared prosperity.
