President Bola Tinubu meets a Deloitte Africa delegation in Abuja, where he says Nigeria’s economy is recording steady growth after about three years of financial and fiscal reforms implemented by his administration. Tinubu, speaking at the State House, attributes the improvement to measures that he says stabilize the economy and create the groundwork for sustained growth, while acknowledging initial challenges during implementation. He also says the reforms strengthen Nigeria’s fiscal and revenue systems, improve the position of financial institutions, and enhance the country’s competitiveness. Tinubu urges Deloitte Africa to deepen its support for Nigeria’s reform agenda by investing in youth capacity development and employment, and he highlights Deloitte’s training programmes as relevant to that effort.
Deloitte Africa’s CEO, Ruwayda Redfearn, says the firm is committed to supporting the Tinubu administration’s reforms and says it has a local team in Nigeria alongside its global resources. Other Deloitte leaders, including Yomi Olugbenro of Deloitte West Africa, say the company is prepared to apply international experience and “use cases” to Nigeria’s economic transformation. The meeting also includes remarks from Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, on fiscal, revenue and tax reforms.
