President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured foreign investors of predictable fund repatriation as well as tax reform.
The President made the guarantee on Friday at the State House in Abuja, where he received Letters of Credence from Hungarian Ambassador Lorand Endreffy, Rwandan High Commissioner Christophe Bazivamo, and Ukrainian Ambassador to Nigeria Ivan Kholostenko.
He urged them to prioritize the development of new trade frontiers that would be mutually beneficial as they carried out their responsibilities in the country.
When he met with Rwanda’s High Commissioner, the President stated that long-standing concerns about stuck cash were being addressed, and that the funds will be handled swiftly for release.
