President Tinubu Touts Record and Agreements During Germany Visit
President Bola Tinubu asserted his eligibility for inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records (GWR) based on his accomplishments in Nigeria, emphasizing his initiation of economic reforms from the onset of his tenure.
Addressing Nigerians in Germany, Tinubu highlighted his background in the private sector and cited his election based on reform promises and his achievements as the former Governor of Lagos State.
Reflecting on his governance of Lagos for eight consecutive years, Tinubu proudly acclaimed the state’s transformation into Africa’s fifth-largest economy, a significant achievement from ground zero, which, he stated, propelled his presidential candidacy.
Furthermore, the President assured German investors that his administration actively addresses challenges impeding business interactions with Nigeria. Drawing on his corporate background, Tinubu emphasized his experience at Deloitte and tenure as treasurer at Exxon Mobil, asserting his commitment to corporate governance principles.
Tinubu’s remarks coincided with the signing of vital agreements between Nigerian and German companies. One agreement involves Riverside LNG of Nigeria and Johannes Schuetze Energy Import AG of Germany, facilitating gas supply from Nigeria to Germany. The other agreement, between Union Bank of Nigeria and DWS Group, entails a $500 million investment in renewable energy projects in Nigeria.
