‘Return on investment in Nigeria mouth watering’ – Tinubu woos Qatari investors

Despite economic uncertainties and the initial hurdle that trailed President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Qatar, the Nigerian President made attempts to woo investors in his host country on Sunday, telling them there is nowhere in the world where one will find return on investment at the level of what is obtainable in Nigeria.

He said Nigeria boasts of a massive market of over 200 million skilled workers, who are always industrious and ready to work.

His marketing of Nigeria to the Qatari government preceded the signing of historic agreements between both nations, opening a gateway for leveraging the potential of mutual cooperation in pivotal sectors of education, enterprise development, investment promotion, youth empowerment, mining, tourism, and sports.

Tinubu while meeting with His Highness, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar, on Sunday in Doha, said Nigeria’s greatest strength lies in the people.

“Our strength lies in the capacity of Nigerian youths. They have energy, talent, and self-belief. They are quality partners for Qatari industry.

“They are educated and reliable, and they are proactively seeking to add value wherever they are. A few cannot give a bad name to the many. Nigerian youths are ready to be unleashed for the mutual benefit of both nations.

We have seen clearly the rapid pace and thorough quality of Qatar’s development process. It is impossible not to be moved by what you have accomplished. The leadership in the country has proven its mettle, and we are here to gain deeper insight.

“We face some short-term turbulence at the moment, but we have a government today that reflects the dynamism and talent of the Nigerian people.

“We are implementing the right solutions. This team works collaboratively with each other and our partners. Nigeria is ready for serious business,” the President stated.
