 The Crown Prince commended Tinubu's reform efforts, such as Nigeria’s foreign exchange restructuring, and assured him that Saudi Arabia would support these efforts by depositing a substantial sum into Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves, which would enhance liquidity for the Central Bank of Nigeria.

In addition to financial support, Saudi Arabia has committed to helping revamp Nigeria’s oil refineries in collaboration with Saudi Aramco, aiming for significant improvements within a two-to-three-year period. 

This collaboration is expected to boost Nigeria's oil sector and reduce its reliance on imported refined petroleum. Beyond energy, Saudi Arabia also expressed interest in supporting Nigeria's agriculture and renewable energy sectors, viewing these areas as vital for achieving food and energy security.
