The federal government plans to commence the sale of state-owned assets to private investors in 2026.
According to Bloomberg, minister of finance and the coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun, made this known during an interview on the sidelines of the AlUla conference for emerging market economies in Saudi Arabia.
He said the government is currently working on determining which assets will be offered for sale and the timelines for the transactions.
“The plan is to offer some assets in 2026. What we have put in place has made Nigeria very competitive in terms of the economic conditions and very attractive in terms of the incentives for investors. I think investors are now more comfortable to invest in Nigeria.
“We are interested in private public partnerships, optimisation of our assets by having others come in and invest,” the minister said
