The Arewa Think Tank (ATT) has expressed strong optimism regarding Nigeria’s economic future while attributing the influx of foreign investments to the bold and strategic reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

In a statement by its convener, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu, the group stated that several global investors are actively engaging the Nigerian market, bringing with them investments worth billions of dollars.

ATT said this wave of investor confidence marks a turning point in the nation’s economic journey and signals the beginning of what could be the most profound economic transformation in Nigeria’s history.

One of the most significant developments highlighted by ATT is the recent pledge by Sheikh Abdul-Rahman Hamad Al-Thani, a member of the Qatari Royal Family, who has committed an unprecedented $300 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to Nigeria.

“This landmark investment, among the largest ever recorded in Africa, was unveiled during high-level bilateral talks and is targeted at key sectors such as energy, agriculture, infrastructure, real estate, and technology.

“Sheikh Al-Thani described the initiative as a strategic partnership aimed at job creation, industrial growth, and long-term sustainable development. Economic experts have described the move as a “game changer” poised to elevate Nigeria’s global investment profile, boost foreign reserves, and catalyse further capital inflows from the Gulf region.

“The Nigerian government has welcomed the Qatari commitment as a major vote of confidence in the country’s reform agenda and reaffirmed its dedication to fostering a transparent and investor-friendly environment,” he said.
