President Bola Tinubu, on Sunday, March 3, at the Nigeria-Qatar Business and Investment Forum in Doha, wooed Qatari investors by highlighting the opportunities Nigeria presents across sectors such as oil and gas, solid minerals, tourism, and healthcare.

Tinubu also told the investors to report bribery if requested or taken from them.

The Special Adviser Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga, made this known on his X handle on Sunday.

He wrote in part: “At the Nigeria-Qatar Business and Investment Forum in Doha on Sunday, President Bola Tinubu performed the quintessential role of Nigeria’s marketing chief.

“He told Qatari investors the vast opportunities Nigeria has to offer in various fields, oil and gas, solid minerals, tourism, healthcare.

” Do not be the investors who miss out on the golden opportunity we present,” the President said.

“I do not see why we cannot become prolific partners in exploring iron ore, as well as steel production, and energy across the board”, he added..

“He said Nigeria is ready for serious business as his administration will deal decisively with any and all entrenched interests in the country who undermine investor confidence in the Nigerian economy.

“Do not offer a bribe to any of our people, and if it is requested or taken from you, report to us. You will have access to me. Nigeria will no longer be defined by the past, but by what we do now and moving forward. Do not let perceptions become a hindrance to your will to invest.”
