Nigeria Reassures Investors Amid Joint Counterterrorism Operation in Sokoto

The Nigerian Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economy, led by Wale Edun, affirm that the recent Nigeria-US counterterrorism operation in Sokoto targeted terrorist elements only, not the economy. The operation, which attracted international attention, aims to enhance security without impacting economic stability.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration has recorded positive economic indicators, with GDP growth of 3.98% in Q3 2025. Edun highlights Nigeria's robust financial market, efficient debt market, and macroeconomic stability.

The government's focus remains on security reforms to sustain growth and investor confidence.
