Uba Sani Hails Tinubu’s Economic Reforms, Highlights Gains from Brazil Visit

Governor Uba Sani has applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for stabilizing Nigeria’s economy and restoring investor confidence, describing the president’s recent visit to Brazil as a key milestone in boosting international partnerships.

Speaking as a member of the presidential delegation to Brazil, Governor Sani emphasized that Nigeria is now regaining global attention as a viable investment destination. “When President Tinubu assumed office, foreign investors were hesitant about coming to Nigeria. But through bold economic reforms, he has opened up significant opportunities for both local and international investors,” Sani said.

He cited the clearance of the $7 billion foreign exchange backlog as a major move that reassured investors of Nigeria’s financial stability. “That decisive action on the forex backlog has greatly improved investor confidence, and we are already seeing the results,” he noted.

Governor Sani also highlighted the strategic importance of the Brazil visit, where President Tinubu and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva discussed key areas including agriculture, renewable energy, aviation, and skills development. Domestically, he reiterated Kaduna State’s commitment to agricultural transformation, stating that his administration increased the sector’s budget from 0.9% to 12% in line with the Malabo Declaration. He expressed optimism that Tinubu’s economic strategy, combined with global partnerships, would drive Nigeria’s growth across critical sectors.
