Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu says the government has assembled 65 “bankable” investment projects seeking a total of $78.5 billion and is inviting both local and foreign investors to review the pipeline. He frames the effort as part of broader steps to draw more private capital into Nigeria’s economy, and he signals support for investors considering the opportunities.

Outlets report that the proposed projects span multiple priority sectors. One source highlights energy and transport among the largest components, with oil and gas, power, transport, and maritime ventures together accounting for the majority of the $78.5 billion total. Another outlet adds that the initiative aligns with efforts to improve investment mobilisation, and references engagement with development partners, including work by the World Bank Group to mobilise additional funding.

While coverage largely agrees on the size and scope of the project list, it varies in emphasis—some foreground the sectors receiving the largest shares of capital, while others focus on the government’s outreach to investors and partner-backed efforts to facilitate financing.
