The Federal Government of Nigeria has reinforced its commitment to investment-led growth at the IsDB Group Day in Lagos, signalling a shift from economic stabilisation to a stronger focus on private capital, productivity, and job creation.

With over $2.2 billion already deployed across key sectors, the partnership with the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group is being scaled to accelerate investment in energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and digital development—areas deemed critical for competitiveness and long-term growth.

The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, highlighted that the next phase of President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda will be driven by large-scale private sector investment, aimed at attracting capital, creating jobs, and expanding economic opportunities.

Director General, Country Programs at IsDB, H.E. Anasse Aissami, said the Bank is deepening its collaboration with Nigeria to support a diversified and resilient economy, focusing on job creation, institutional strengthening, and improved livelihoods.

Observers say this reflects a broader strategic shift as Nigeria seeks to mobilise capital at scale and translate international partnerships into tangible economic outcomes.
