President Bola Tinubu presided over the closing bell ceremony at the Nasdaq Stock Market in New York on Wednesday, urging the United States business community to explore investment opportunities in Nigeria’s thriving market.
Tinubu, currently participating in the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, was joined at the bell ceremony by Scott Eisner, the President of the U.S.-Africa Business Center (USAfBC) at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The closing bell ceremony, conducted at Nasdaq’s seven-story tower in New York, symbolizes the conclusion of a trading session.
“I am delighted to bring Nigeria closer to you and deeply honored to be here today, amidst a dynamic market poised to transform the West African subregion,” remarked Tinubu.
“The Nigerian economy presents significant potential for investment opportunities. Under the leadership of President [President’s Name], the government has undertaken substantial reforms, such as eliminating various bottlenecks and addressing issues like the fuel subsidy, which was previously associated with corruption. Additionally, the administration has stabilized the exchange rate, ensuring a reliable and dependable one-figure floating exchange rate for the Nigerian naira.
Investors can now confidently bring their capital into Nigeria and repatriate it without any hindrance. President [President’s Name] encourages and invites you to consider investing in Nigeria, believing in the vast potential it offers for your investments.”
