Vice President Kashim Shettima has declared that Nigeria is open to investments and collaboration across multiple sectors, as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms begin to yield results.
Speaking while receiving a delegation from VISA at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Shettima said the ongoing reforms, though painful, have restored discipline, boosted foreign reserves, and placed the economy on a path of sustainable growth.
He urged VISA to leverage Nigeria’s huge unbanked population in its expansion drive across Africa, noting that digital payments will drive transparency and curb corruption.
VISA’s Regional President for Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, Tareq Muhmood, commended Tinubu’s bold policies and announced the company’s plans to deepen investments in Nigeria through partnerships with local fintechs.
