Nigeria’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has accepted an invitation to meet with the president of the United States, Joe Biden on the sideline of the United Nations General Assembly meeting (UNGA).
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Aguri Ngelale made this known via a statement released after a meeting between Tinubu and US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Ambassador Molly Phee.
In the meeting, Tinubu reiterated his promise to create an enabling environment for private businesses to thrive in the country.
He urged the US government to be innovative by creating incentives for its investment in Nigeria.
“Yes, the private sector will lead the way within an enabling environment we create for them. However, the U.S. Government must be innovative and systematically create incentives for U.S. industrial investment in Nigeria. Under my leadership, Nigeria stands ready to address its specific regulatory, tax and environmental concerns. I am determined to create prosperity for all Nigerian families,” he said.
On his part, Phee said the US government is committed to improving incentives for its large-scale investment in Nigeria.
“President Joe Biden is asking to meet with you on the sidelines of UNGA, and you are the only African leader he has requested to meet. It is a mark of his high regard for your leadership,” Phee added.
The 78th UNGA session will open on September 12 2023, in New York, United States.
