President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has boldly declared that corruption has been eradicated in Nigeria under his leadership.
Speaking during a high-level meeting with Brazilian ministers and business leaders in Brazil, Tinubu promoted Nigeria as a reformed and open economy, ready for international investment and collaboration.
“There’s no more corruption since I assumed office,” the President stated, assuring the Brazil Business Group of a more transparent and investor-friendly environment in Nigeria. He emphasized that ongoing economic reforms, though challenging at the onset, are now yielding visible and positive results.
“It’s getting clearer to the people. We have more money circulating in the economy, and corruption is no longer draining our system,” he said.
Tinubu highlighted reforms at the Central Bank of Nigeria as a key example, noting that foreign exchange processes are now open and no longer reliant on personal connections. “Speculators are out. In our currency market, the door is open for businesses,” he added.
He urged both nations to shift from symbolic gestures to practical cooperation, especially in areas such as food security, renewable energy, manufacturing, and technology transfer.
“We have allowed past issues to delay our progress, but that era is over,” Tinubu declared.
Following a state luncheon at the Itamaraty Palace, where both nations discussed strategies to deepen economic and innovation-driven partnerships, new bilateral agreements were signed. These pacts are expected to boost trade, enhance technology exchange, and pave the way for long-term, sustainable collaboration between Nigeria and Brazil.
