If an African child is given a glass of milk in a class, there will be no problem in getting him to return and stay in school to learn - Tinubu addresses investors in France

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called for heightened foreign investments in Nigerias critical sectors, including food security, solid minerals, energy, and education, during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palais des Llyse in Paris. At a joint press conference, President Tinubu urged French investors to seize the opportunities in Nigerias agricultural and financial sectors, highlighting the nations investment-friendly environment. The French-Nigeria Business Forum is doing a lot already, but we need to do more on food security. We cannot help but invest in anothers country, Tinubu stated. He underscored the role of private sector involvement in achieving food security, saying, It is our responsibility to put together a food security programme for the private sector to come and invest in the country. Tinubu also reassured foreign investors about Nigerias economic stability, describing it as ripe for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) that directly benefits citizens. Addressing education, Tinubu urged the French government to support training programs for Nigerias youthful population, emphasizing the link between education and national development. If an African child is given a glass of milk in a class, there will be no problem in getting him to return and stay in school to learn. The more educated the children are, the better it is for us, he said. He also highlighted Nigerias untapped potential in solid minerals, calling for the de-risking of investment opportunities in the sector. Tinubu further encouraged investments in the blue economy, particularly fisheries, stating, In Lagos, we have tamed the Atlantic Ocean. For us, fishery is an important aspect of investment. French President Emmanuel Macron praised Tinubus leadership and expressed confidence in his ability to strengthen Nigeria-France relations. We have confidence that you, Mr President, will reinforce our relationship with Nigeria, and it will cover the West Coast region, with ECOWAS playing the leading role, Macron said. Macron also pledged to encourage more French investments, particularly in Nigerias solid minerals and creative industries. Both leaders discussed global challenges, stressing the importance of collective responsibility in addressing food security, education, and terrorism. Global humanitarian challenges can only be solved with governments working together, Macron noted.      View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial) The post If an African child is given a glass of milk in a class, there will be no problem in getting him to return and stay in school to learn - Tinubu addresses investors in France appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
