President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s commitment to combating corruption and fostering a favorable business climate, encouraging Qatari investors to “report to him” if any Nigerian government official solicits a bribe from them.
Tinubu said this in a statement during the Nigeria-Qatar Business and Investment Forum in Doha, on Sunday.
He assured that his administration would take firm action against any entrenched interests within the nation that harm the confidence of investors in the Nigerian economy.
- “I am here to give you the assurance that reforms are going on; forget about whatever you heard in the past. Whatever is the obstacle or problem that some of you might have experienced; it is in the past because there is no obstacle in the future.
- “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. Nigeria is serious about revolutionizing investment promotion.
- “We are removing obstacles today and we are going to continue to remove all obstacles. We have done so much within nine months. And I am assuring you, it is free entry and free exit. Your funds will flow smoothly into and out of our country. Bring your investments,” he said
