Finance Minister Oyedele Vows No U-Turn on Economic Reforms

Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Taiwo Oyedele has assured investors of the government’s firm commitment to long-term reforms. Speaking at the Nigerian Economic Summit Group’s Private Sector Outlook 2026 in Lagos, he said policy consistency is key to sustaining stability and boosting investor confidence. Oyedele pointed to early signs of macroeconomic stability—such as a more aligned exchange rate and stronger revenues—but emphasized that these must translate into job creation, productivity growth and better living standards. He outlined four priorities: predictable fiscal and regulatory frameworks, lower business costs, improved access to capital and consistent policy execution. The minister also stressed the need for scaled private sector investment across agriculture, manufacturing, energy and the digital economy. He warned that abrupt policy reversals could stall progress and called for deeper collaboration between government and businesses to achieve meaningful growth.
