Global business diplomacy is shifting, from traditional trade talks to collaborative innovation.
At the High-Level Business Dialogue in Berlin, held on the sidelines of the 5th #NigeriaGermanyBNC, the conversation centred on one question: how can Nigeria and Germany convert economic goodwill into measurable growth and shared prosperity?
He made the case for a new era of strategic economic partnership; one grounded in reform, technology, and shared value. Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria has taken decisive steps to restore investor confidence and create a transparent, competitive, and future-ready economy.
The unification of our foreign exchange market, streamlined tax reforms, and Nigeria’s removal from the FATF Grey List are clear signals of a nation ready for scale.
Our financial credibility has never been stronger. With foreign reserves exceeding $43 billion, inflation trending down, and a young, skilled population of over 230 million, Nigeria presents a scale few emerging markets can match.
Every year, we produce over 1 million graduates; a workforce that is shaping Africa’s digital and creative economies. Our fintech sector alone has produced world-class unicorns such as Flutterwave, Interswitch, Moniepoint, and Opay, proof that the Nigerian private sector can compete globally.
The dialogue also explored how German Mittelstands can leverage this demographic advantage to expand industrial and technological footprints across Africa.
