The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has praised President Bola Tinubu’s policies for fostering a favorable investment climate in Nigeria.
Edun made this remark on Monday while hosting a delegation comprising the National Agricultural Development Fund (NADF), GENESIS Energy Group, USAID, and KPMG to discuss a strategic partnership on Solar-Powered Cold Room Storage and Logistics.
The initiative aims to address post-harvest losses, enhance food security, and improve the efficiency of Nigeria’s agricultural supply chain. During the meeting, the delegation shared details of their ongoing projects and partnerships to deploy cold storage facilities in key locations across the country.
Edun commended the team’s efforts, emphasizing that “food security is a top priority for President Tinubu.”
He highlighted how “recent economic reforms, including market-based pricing for fuel and foreign exchange policies, have stabilized the economy and created a conducive environment for investment”.
He assured the delegation of the Ministry’s full support, noting that their project aligns with the government’s goals of job creation, foreign investment attraction, and poverty reduction. Additionally, Edun reiterated the administration’s commitment to implementing reforms across all sectors to attract investments and drive economic growth.
Key figures in the delegation included Akinwole Omoboriowo, CEO of GENESIS Energy; Mohammed Ibrahim, Executive Secretary of NADF; and Dimeji Salaudeen from KPMG, among others.
