Oyedele cites reforms as evidence of rising investor confidence in Nigeria
Finance Minister Wale Edun said Nigeria’s recent reforms—including banking sector recapitalisation, removal from the FATF grey list, rising capital inflows and the capital market’s top‑global performance in 2026—are evidence that investor confidence is improving. Speaking at a forum, he stressed that macro‑economic stability alone is not enough; the government must turn stability into investment, productivity, decent jobs and incomes that ordinary Nigerians can feel. He highlighted ongoing social intervention programmes such as expanded cash transfers, healthcare, education and support for displaced communities, and urged investors to act now, noting that the best opportunities often arise during structural change. Oyedele added that Africa must build institutions that shape the global economic order rather than merely adapt to it. The reforms aim to move the country from stabilisation to growth and shared prosperity.
