Expert urges Nigerians to invest, not rely on government

An economic expert, Ismaila Yusuf Atus, has advised Nigerians to shift their focus from relying on government interventions and instead prioritise investment as a means of securing financial stability and long-term success.

Atus, who is the Managing Director of Atus West Africa Investment, a leading provider of financial solutions, in a statement on Monday, said investment is crucial in shaping successful individuals and securing the futures of families.

He noted that the current economic challenges in Nigeria have underscored the necessity for individual initiative and strategic financial planning.

Atus explained that the company, which offers automated payment, savings, and investment solutions, is dedicated to helping individuals build sustainable wealth and achieve their financial goals.

According to him, Atus has already assisted over a hundred customers in planning, saving, and investing for their futures, with a strong emphasis on financial literacy and diverse investment opportunities.

He added that the company has made its services more accessible to Nigerians, with offices located in Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt.

He said: “It’s all about investments. We are calling on Nigerians to invest and to learn how to invest. This is what has made successful individuals, including our President, who they are today. Without investment, achieving your goals becomes challenging.

“We are encouraging Nigerians to invest wisely to secure their success for tomorrow. It is essential to remember that we cannot rely solely on the government; it cannot do everything. Individuals must utilise their resources to invest and elevate themselves in the months ahead.

“Atus provides automated payment, savings, and investment solutions, as well as financial literacy programmes and insights to build wealth, all in one place. We are dedicated to helping investors achieve their lifelong goals, live financially free, and broaden their financial horizons.

“We are an African company committed to helping clients not only plan, save, and invest for their futures but also pay bills seamlessly. Our passion lies in enabling Africans to increase their financial well-being, which is why we offer diverse investment opportunities tailored to various spending lifestyles.”
