President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Monday to attend
the G-20 Leaders’ Summit in New Delhi, India, on the special invitation of
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to attract foreign direct investment.
Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and
Publicity, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
On the sidelines of the summit, the President will
participate in and deliver keynote addresses at the Nigeria-India Presidential
Roundtable and the Nigeria-India Business Conference.
Leading businessmen from Nigeria and India, as well as
senior government representatives from both nations, will attend the CEO
roundtable.
In the statement, Ajuri said Tinubu aimed to leverage this
platform to attract global capital and promote increased foreign direct
investments in key labour-intensive sectors of Nigeria’s economy for job
creation and revenue expansion.
“Moreover, he will use this opportunity to highlight
Nigeria’s attractiveness as an investment destination, specifically outlining
his cross-sectoral reform plan encapsulated by the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Given the President’s renowned experience attracting
investment to Lagos State, leading industrialists have sought separate private
engagements with him at the summit.
“The President’s itinerary will also feature bilateral
meetings with a cross-section of world leaders from four continents,
representing G-20 and non–G20 countries.
“These engagements are geared towards strengthening
bilateral economic, trade, and investment partnerships for mutual benefit.
“At the G20 Summit, the Nigerian leader is expected to share
Nigeria’s perspective on the theme, “One Earth, One Family, One Future,” which
speaks to the global unity required to address the challenges facing humanity
and the planet.
“With its collective contribution of up to 80% of global
GDP, 75% of international trade, and housing 60% of the world’s population, the
G-20 constitutes a significant economic power bloc of socio-economic
opportunity and geo-political stability,” he stated.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar; Minister of
Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun; Minister of
Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani; and Minister
of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite, are part of Tinubu’s
team to the summit.
