Uba Sani Hails Tinubu’s Reforms, Says Brazil Visit Boosts Investor Confidence

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for restoring investor trust and economic stability in Nigeria, describing his recent visit to Brazil as a turning point for international collaborations.

In an interview with TVC News, Governor Sani, who was part of the presidential entourage, said the visit demonstrated growing recognition of Nigeria’s economic potential.

“When you look at the time he came in, a lot of investors globally didn’t want to come to Nigeria. But some of the reforms he initiated have really opened opportunities, not only for Nigerian businessmen but also for others abroad,” Sani explained.

He highlighted Tinubu’s decision to clear the $7 billion foreign exchange backlog, calling it the defining move that reassured global investors about Nigeria’s financial credibility.

Governor Sani described Tinubu’s talks with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as a relationship built on mutual respect and opportunity, covering key areas such as:

• Aviation investment

• Renewable energy projects

• Agricultural development

• Skills training initiatives

“I’m happy that President Tinubu established a very important relationship with the Brazilian President. It’s a partnership that will bring results within a short period,” he said.

Linking national reforms to local action, Governor Sani said his administration has increased Kaduna State’s agriculture budget from 0.9% to 12% in line with the Malabo Declaration.

“We are working to transform agriculture to create jobs, address poverty, and increase productivity,” he emphasized, noting Kaduna’s leadership role in livestock and crop production.

The governor expressed confidence that Tinubu’s economic stabilization efforts and international partnerships would accelerate Nigeria’s growth across critical sectors.
