Edun Unveils Roadmap for Investment-Led Growth
Wale Edun, Minister of the Federal Ministry of Finance, has outlined a clear roadmap for investment-led growth, aimed at driving economic development and delivering tangible benefits to Nigerians.
This was disclosed by Edun during the Citizens and Stakeholders Engagement on the Implementation of Presidential Priorities and Ministerial Deliverables for the second quarter of 2025 in Abuja.
Edun stated that the ministry is now in the third phase of its reform agenda, focused on accelerating investment-led growth that delivers jobs, reduces inflation, and lifts millions out of poverty. He noted that the trajectory is clear: from macroeconomic correction to national transformation.
The minister highlighted significant progress, including a substantial rise in external reserves from under $4 billion to over $23 billion and renewed investor confidence, evidenced by credit rating upgrades and major energy investments.
Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, emphasized the importance of stakeholder engagement in delivering reform dividends, saying it enables citizens and the private sector to hold the ministry accountable while shaping a more responsive and transparent economy.
Permanent Secretary Special Duties, Mr. Raymond Omenka Omachi, added that institutional collaboration and disciplined execution are critical to sustaining reform momentum, ensuring that reforms are effectively implemented with measurable impact.
The engagement session, attended by industry leaders, civil society organisations, and development partners, marked a significant step towards achieving the Federal Government’s economic objectives, with a commitment to transparency and accountability.#Wale Edun Unveils Roadmap for Investment-Led Growth# Okomu Oil, Dangote Drive Intraday Gain in Equities Market
