Report Nigerian Officials Who Demand Bribe – President Tinubu To Qatari Investors 

President Bola Tinubu emphasized during his visit to Qatar that his administration maintains a strict anti-corruption stance and encourages Qatari investors to report any officials soliciting bribes.

He assured the international business community of Nigeria’s readiness for sincere and productive business ventures.

Tinubu pledged to address entrenched interests that hinder investor confidence, promising to eliminate obstacles hindering profitable and lawful enterprises in Nigeria.

These statements were made at the Nigeria-Qatar Business and Investment Forum in Doha.

Tinubu highlighted ongoing reforms and upgrades in Nigeria’s economy and systems.

“For you Qatar’s captains of industry report any government official who demands a bribe or any form of inducement at any point in your business endeavour. I give you full assurance of your direct access to the President’s Office.

“I am here to give you the assurance that reforms are going on; forget about whatever you heard in the past. Whatever is the obstacle or problem that some of you might have experienced; it is in the past, because there is no obstacle in the future.

“Do not offer a bribe to any of our people, and if it is requested or taken from you, report to us. You will have access to me. Nigeria will no longer be defined by the past, but by what we do now and moving forward.

“Do not let perceptions become a hindrance to your will to invest. Nigeria is serious about revolutionizing investment promotion. We are removing obstacles today and we are going to continue to remove all obstacles.

“We have done so much within nine months. And I am assuring you, it is free entry, and free exit. Your funds will flow smoothly into and out of our country. Bring your investments,” the President stated.

Moreover, he mentioned the strengthened efforts against corruption and insecurity in the country with the appointment of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as the National Security Adviser (NSA).

“We have a man who has won many global awards for anti-corruption as an anti-corruption czar.

“My responsibility is to tell you that Nigeria is open for business, and to assure you that your investments are safe in our hands. We have men and women of great reputation here. And we believe we can forge a good committee that will advance our discussions to fruitful conclusions.

“A nation is an artificial entity unless there are good people to drive it. People build great nations and we have great people. We are ready,” the President affirmed.
