The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Zacch Adedeji, has received the newly appointed Managing Director of J.P. Morgan Nigeria, Adedapo Olagunju, on a courtesy visit at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.
Adedeji described the bank’s expanding presence as “a significant signal of international investor confidence in the direction of the country’s economy.”
He linked the development to “the credibility, stability and predictability being fostered by the bold economic reforms and fiscal policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
The NRS boss stressed that “a transparent, efficient and predictable fiscal environment is key to attracting global capital, strengthening institutional partnerships and positioning Nigeria as a competitive investment destination.”
He added that the confidence shown by leading global financial institutions such as J.P. Morgan “reinforces a clear message: Nigeria is building the foundations for sustainable growth and long-term investment” as ongoing reforms take shape.
The meeting highlighted official efforts to deepen ties with international finance players amid Nigeria’s push for greater foreign capital inflows.
