We never promised $600 million investment in Nigeria during meeting with Tinubu: Maersk CEO.

The denial marks the latest in a trend of the Nigerian government parroting false claims about securing agreements with foreign entities.

Robert Maersk Uggla, chair of Danish shipping giant A.P Moller-Maersk, has denied signing any $600 million investment deal with the Nigerian government despite a Sunday press statement by President Bola Tinubu’s aide saying otherwise.

Mr Maersk met Mr Tinubu at a special session of the World Economic Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last weekend, where the Nigerian leader asked the shipping mogul to complement his “administration’s ongoing $1 billion investment in seaport reconstruction.”

“We believe in Nigeria, and we will invest $600 million in existing facilities and make the ports accommodating for bigger ships,” State House quoted Mr Maersk as saying on Sunday.

However, contrary to a widely circulated statement by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, that Mr Tinubu secured a $600 million investment deal to expand seaport infrastructure, the Maersk group said no such deal existed.

“We are not able to comment on any investment talks,” the group told UK newspaper Lloyd’s List on Tuesday.

“Maersk has been present in Nigeria for 35 years and, as a global provider of logistics services, we remain committed to develop opportunities for growth to people, the port sector and businesses locally,” the Danish company told the newspaper.

“Therefore, it is natural to have an ongoing dialogue with the administration. However, we are not able to comment on any investment talks.”

The denial marks the latest in a trend of the Nigerian government parroting false claims about securing agreements with foreign entities.

Last September, the State House announced that Dubai had lifted a visa ban on Nigerians, but this turned out to be false.

Seven months after the announcement, Nigerians are still restricted from entering Dubai.

Lies, falsehood, and propaganda are the stock in trade of the Tinubu administration. 

Tinubu wasted Nigeria's tax payers money to travel to Saudi Arabia to tell lies, falsehoods, and propaganda.

It shall never be well with those who worked, supported, and encouraged this notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture into office.

Very soon now, Yoruba demon noise makers will come and be spewing trash to defend him. A monumental failure has taken over

Tinubu's government already a disaster

This is what happens when the president is a liar and corrupt

Nigerians have never had it this bad until Bola Ahmed Tinubu came in with a stolen mandate as president and now we are reaping from the fruit of our labour in bad conditions.

Make bobo Chicago dey always carry cotton bud whenever he travels.

Gbajue Presido
A nother P ropaganda C heckmated

Now here’s what most people don’t know about the effect of this lie. 12 hrs after that statement, Mersk lost 4% of her market capitalization (about $1billion) because of a $600million lie! From the exited big Pharma, to Dubai to Saudi and now Mersk, who do you honestly believe would want to do business with a dishonest govt?? Losing credibility in the committee of nations is no mean thing, as our govt has given immigration world over more justification to subject Nigerians to even more vigorous scrutiny. You can pray all you want, declare every +ve declaration in the good book, an okada rider in an airplane cockpit will only give his passengers a fiery end!

Ok now contunu Renewed hope

Reputable companies usually check the background of presidents of most nations before they bring in their funds.

Everyone knows the truth even those pretending.

The amount of lies, propaganda and deceit deployed by tinubu so far is equal to the ones hitler deployed during the entire WW2


Right, it's safe to say tinubus one year in office is worse than the entire 8 years buhari spent in office

politician 's government already a disaster

The government didn't need to be specific about any amount. That was the main problem.

Simply state that fruitful talks for future investments in Nigeria’s port infrastructure were held and Mersk has restated its continued commitment towards exploring new opportunities in the sector.
