The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to sustain Nigeria’s position as Africa’s leading investment hub based on the nation’s human capital asset and investment opportunities
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, made this remark while addressing an audience of French and Nigerian business leaders, policymakers, and investors, at the France-Nigeria Business Forum in Paris.
The minister listed some of the priority sectors for investment with potential of returns on investment in the country as including Agriculture, Renewable Energy, Technology and the creative industries.
Also, he spoke of fiscal measures such as tax holidays, duty waivers, and the development of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) as among the major reasons global investors should make Nigeria the destination of their investments.
Edun reiterated Nigeria’s focus on strengthening regulatory frameworks to support foreign and local investments
As Nigeria continues to demonstrate its readiness to attract investment and foster international partnerships, the France-Nigeria Business Forum has provided a pivotal platform to deepen economic ties between the two nations.
Analysts believe that with the country’s rich natural resources, vast market, and entrepreneurial spirit, it has all it takes to become Africa’s premier investment destination.
