President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has obtained commitments for over $50 billion in Foreign Direct Investment through 87 Memoranda of Understanding since taking office. However, actual FDI inflows have been significantly lower, at around $2.06 billion. This discrepancy highlights a gap between pledged investments and realized funds.
The commitments were made after Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023. Details of the Memoranda of Understanding and the investments are available from the source.
Further information on the FDI commitments and actual inflows can be found through the original report, which provides more context on the investments and the period in question.
