President Bola Tinubu has declared that his administration will not reverse the economic reforms currently underway in the country.
Tinubu made this known in a social media post a day after meeting UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, at 10 Downing Street during the second day of his state visit.
The president said discussions with Starmer focused on strengthening trade and investment relations between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
He said the talks also centred on ensuring that bilateral cooperation benefits citizens of both countries.
His words: “We spoke plainly about where we are and where we must go as both nations navigate the current order, and look forward to a prosperous future.
“Our focus is trade, investment, and the real impact on the lives of the people of Nigeria and the United Kingdom. Nigeria is making difficult but necessary reforms. We will stay the course. There is no turning back.”
The president also welcomed a £746 million agreement to modernise Nigeria’s ports, stressing that the deal will support the upgrade of Apapa Port and Tin Can Island Port.
“I welcome the £746 million agreement to modernise Apapa and Tin Can Island ports as well as other critical partnerships unlocked during this visit.
“This is about fixing critical infrastructure, delivering systems that work, facilitating trade, and unlocking growth where it matters most,” he stated.
Tinubu said Nigeria is ready to work with partners committed to delivering tangible results.
“The world is changing. Nigeria is ready and will work with partners who are ready to build and deliver, not just talk. The work continues,” he added.
