President Bola Tinubu received assurances in Abuja from Reckitt Benckiser, a global consumer goods company, that they plan to expand their investments in Nigeria.
During a meeting with a delegation from Reckitt Benckiser, led by the Chief Executive Officer, Kris Licht and Chairman of Reckitt Benckiser Nigeria Limited, Olu Falomo, President Tinubu praised the company for its more than 60 years of investment in Nigeria and dedication to the country’s development.
This was made known in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, and shared on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the Chairman of Reckitt Benckiser, Olu Falomo, said that the company’s global team has assured the Tinubu government of their full support, adding that they are not going anywhere.
President Tinubu assured investors of good returns on their investments, supported by a buoyant market and a large population.

“We have embarked on challenging reforms to improve the economy. Our reforms will improve the ease of doing business for partners like you moving forward.”
