“We’ve removed a lot of bottlenecks and we’ve cleared subsidy that are corrupt. And we have also the exchange rate to a reliable, dependable figure floating up the change naira. 

“You’re free to bring in your money and bring out your money. I count on you to invest in Nigeria.” 

Tinubu was accompanied to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for the bell-ringing ceremony by Scott Eisner, the President of the U.S.-Africa Business Center (USAfBC).
