Through the Ministry of Finance Incorporated, the country will be partnering with the news medium for two years.
The government said the partnership was part of efforts to attract investors into the country with the aim of improving its economic conditions.
At a meeting with the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, in his office in Abuja, Bloomberg’s Global Director, Nicole Keefe, emphasised the company’s commitment to reshaping Nigeria’s narrative and showcasing its economic potential to the global audience.
The Director, Information and Public Relations, Ministry of Finance, Mohammed Manga, in a statement disclosed that Bloomberg planned to leverage its vast media network to highlight Nigeria’s achievements, opportunities, as well as addressing investor hesitations tied to outdated or negative perceptions.

The minister acknowledged the need for strategic communication to effectively showcase government’s economic achievements and create a positive investment climate.
With this partnership, Nigeria is poised to redefine its global narrative, unlock new investment opportunities, and solidify its position as a key player in the global economy.
