Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has reaffirmed the federal government’s commitment to deepening international relations and expanding the country’s global investment opportunities. He made the remarks during a session at the Reuters Next Gulf Summit held in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
Addressing international investors and policy leaders, Tuggar explained that Nigeria is reshaping its foreign policy to reflect a balance between diplomatic engagement and economic growth. He said the government’s current direction under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu aims to build stronger economic alliances while positioning the nation as a leading destination for global capital and trade.
According to the minister, the government has taken significant steps to enhance transparency, improve ease of doing business, and restore investor confidence through reforms in key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and technology.
He added that Nigeria’s renewed global outreach includes reinforcing its partnerships with major economies like the United States, China, and member states of the European Union, as well as expanding trade and cooperation with emerging markets, including Brazil and other parts of South America.
Observers at the summit described Tuggar’s presentation as part of Nigeria’s ongoing effort to redefine its global presence — not just as Africa’s largest economy but also as a trusted partner in international development and diplomacy.
His participation at the event, attended by top government officials, industry experts, and investors from around the world, highlights Nigeria’s determination to strengthen its economic diplomacy and attract sustainable investments that can drive long-term national development.
