Recall that, during his inaugural speech as president, Tinubu announced that the fuel subsidy was ‘gone.’

The president also suspended the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele, having promised to unify a web of varying exchange rates.

With this development, foreign investors have embraced the decisions of Tinubu’s government, sending Nigeria’s dollar debt surging on Monday.

A portfolio manager at Ninety One in London, Thys Louw, who shared insight on the policies of the new government, said, “Overall, President Tinubu has shown that he’s willing to take on two of the most important factors investors are focusing on, which is fuel subsidies and FX reform, in a very short space of time.”

“Reform momentum in Nigeria has picked up considerably, although from a low level and sustaining this will be important given poor economic conditions Tinubu inherited,” he added.
