Netherlands to Invest $250 Million in Nigeria, Prime Minister Rutte Commends President Tinubu’s Leadership

The Netherlands is set to invest an additional $250 million into Nigeria soon. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte shared this during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

Rutte expressed confidence in Tinubu’s leadership, highlighting the attractiveness to Dutch investors.

The investment package encompasses various sectors, notably a $100 million venture into a waste-to-wealth industrial project in Lagos State.

“I saw you take the courageous decision to deal with fuel subsidies and other reforms, and we are interested in what allowed you to take the decisions that many before you could not take.

“And you took those decisions early in your term. It shows rare determination. And your stand in ECOWAS, all of these point to your commitment to leadership,” the Dutch Prime Minister stated.

President Tinubu told the European leader that Nigeria is open for business.

He noted that Nigeria has high-grade deposits of lithium.

Tinubu and his delegates are in the Netherlands for a three-day visit.
