FG Pledges Enabling Climate for Inclusive Growth at Investor Forum
By Patience Ikpeme
The Federal Government has pledged its commitment to establish a supportive environment that cultivates widespread prosperity through stable macroeconomic policies and fundamental structural changes.
This declaration came from the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, during an exclusive dinner hosted by Kuramo Capital Management in Lagos. The event was held as part of the Africa Venture Capital Week.
At the gathering, Mr. Edun noted the synergy between private capital investment and Nigeria’s reform program, which is geared towards achieving sustainable growth and development that benefits all segments of society.
The Minister commended Kuramo Capital and its collaborators for their belief in Africa’s economic prospects. He stated that combined financial approaches and innovation are crucial catalysts for long-term development.
The event brought together global investors, development organizations, and business leaders for open dialogues on mobilizing long-term capital to drive Africa’s progress and transformation. This meeting signified Kuramo Capital’s reinvigorated strategic involvement in Nigeria after a period of reduced activity, indicating a stronger commitment to the continent’s economic future.
The Federal Government’s renewed pledge is part of a larger strategy to unlock new economic opportunities, attract greater investment, and foster prosperity that includes all citizens.
Mr. Edun has also been actively cultivating partnerships with key private sector entities, including the Dangote Group and Olam Agri, to stimulate business expansion and enhance agricultural output. These endeavors are in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision for a business-friendly landscape that encourages innovation, job creation, and a more diverse economy.
Additionally, the government is working with international bodies such as the World Bank to empower Nigeria’s youth through digital initiatives and generate high-quality employment.
This collaboration seeks to develop digital infrastructure and improve access to technology, enabling young Nigerians to actively participate in the digital economy. Job creation remains a central focus in the effort to reduce poverty and inequality, and the government’s emphasis on private investment is intended to accelerate lasting economic transformation.
Through these initiatives, Nigeria is positioned to experience substantial economic growth and improved living standards for its population. The Federal Government’s proactive stance, spearheaded by Minister Wale Edun, signals a clear path towards inclusive prosperity by attracting private capital, promoting innovation, and strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors.
