The Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Lanre Issa-Onilu, has linked the recent surge in foreign investor interest in Nigeria to the country’s improved international image and perception.
Speaking to journalists, Issa-Onilu highlighted growing confidence from foreign investors, international financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, as well as world leaders, as evidence of Nigeria’s efforts to reposition itself globally.
He emphasized that the NOA continues to prioritize global reputation management, a core component of the National Values Charter, which was approved by the Federal Executive Council in October 2024.
Issa-Onilu also revealed plans to extend the National Values Charter campaign to Nigerian diaspora communities, stressing that national development thrives when citizens are aligned with government initiatives.
“The structures we have now in place will reinforce Nigeria’s core principles, restore the country’s identity, and boost its credibility on the global stage,” he said.
The NOA’s strategy underscores Nigeria’s commitment to enhancing its global standing and attracting sustainable foreign investment through strategic communication and citizen engagement.
