Leveraging African Sovereign Wealth Funds 

Managing Director and CEO of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), Aminu Umar-Sadiq, emphasized the potential of African sovereign wealth funds to drive transformative growth.

“By uniting our collective resources, African sovereign wealth funds can become a formidable catalyst for transformative growth, economic resilience, and long-term prosperity,” he stated.

Collective Action for Transformative Development 

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, reiterated Nigeria’s commitment to leading the continent’s economic transformation through targeted reforms and catalytic investment platforms.

The President emphasized the need for collective action and regional cooperation among African countries to achieve transformative development.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, highlighted Nigeria’s innovative financing models, such as the NSIA-backed Infrastructure Debt Fund, the Green Guarantee Company, and a landmark US-dollar domestic bond issuance.

These initiatives demonstrate Nigeria’s investment readiness and potential for economic growth.

“Africa must lead its own industrialization. By mobilizing domestic capital and aligning with global partners, we can move from a future defined by potential to one built on performance,” Edun stated.
