President Bola Tinubu has reassured Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora that the country’s economy has moved beyond a period of uncertainty and is now on a path toward recovery and growth.
Speaking during an exhibition in the United Kingdom as part of his two-day state visit, Tinubu said his administration remains committed to fulfilling its promise of restoring hope among citizens, adding that many Nigerians are already feeling the impact of that vision.
He expressed confidence that the nation has left behind a difficult phase marked by economic instability and is now heading toward a more promising future. The President also encouraged Nigerians abroad to remain optimistic and continue contributing positively to the country’s development.
Tinubu emphasized the importance of self-belief and determination in shaping Nigeria’s economic outlook, noting that progress depends largely on the collective efforts of its people. He maintained that his leadership would continue to inspire confidence and deliver meaningful change.
While addressing attendees, he urged Nigerians to focus on the strengths of the country and project a positive image globally, especially in the face of economic challenges and global uncertainties.
During his visit, Tinubu was received by King Charles III and Queen Camilla with full ceremonial honours. He also held talks with Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street, where discussions centered on strengthening bilateral relations.
As part of the engagements, Nigeria secured a £746 million financing agreement with Citi Bank to support the modernization of Apapa and Tin Can Island ports in Lagos, a move aimed at improving trade infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, met with religious leaders at Lambeth Palace, including Rose Hudson-Wilkin and Emma Ineson, where she engaged in discussions with members of the Church of England.
