President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured the business community of the commitment of his government to policy consistency and better business climate to attract investment.
The president spoke Monday while receiving the delegation of the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) led by the Global Upstream Director, Ms Zoe Yujnovic at the State House, Abuja.
President Tinubu, who welcomed the SPDC’s offer for more investments in the Nigerian oil and gas sector, added that such investments were needed now more than ever to enable the government meet its obligations.
The president, in a statement by his spokesman, Dele Alake, said attracting fresh investment was “a promise I made personally to Nigerians. Whatever it takes, I will fulfill that promise to Nigerians.”
