In a significant step towards deepening economic ties between Nigeria and Tunisia, the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, met with Tunisia’s Minister of Economy and Planning, Samir Abdelhafidh, on the sidelines of the AATB and AHEB meetings in Abuja. The meeting aimed to advance deeper economic collaboration between the two nations.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, HM Edun reaffirmed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s priority to boost intra-African trade and unlock private-sector opportunities, noting that Africa currently trades more with the rest of the world than with itself.<\/p>\n

He highlighted Nigeria\u2019s ongoing reforms \u2014 including measures to attract investment, strengthen the business environment, and support vulnerable households \u2014 positioning the economy for sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

This partnership must move from conversation to execution. A joint working group will ensure follow-through and practical outcomes, Edun said.<\/p>\n

Tunisia expressed strong interest in expanding commercial ties, particularly in tourism, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and SME development. Minister Abdelhafidh also confirmed plans for a direct Tunis\u2013Abuja air link by 2026, improving mobility for investors and businesses.<\/p>\n

Both sides agreed that stronger Nigeria\u2013Tunisia cooperation will support private-sector growth, expand market access, and advance Africa\u2019s broader objective of economic integration.<\/p>\n

As Nigeria and Tunisia embark on this new chapter of economic cooperation, both nations are poised to reap the benefits of strengthened trade and investment ties, driving growth and development across the continent.<\/p>\n
