NIPC Partners Foreign Missions On Investment Promotion

Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) has called for strengthening of partnerships with Nigerian Embassies in other countries to promote Nigeria’s investment prospects.

Acting Executive Secretary/CEO, NIPC, Mr Emeka Offor made this call at a Roundtable on Economic Diplomacy with various Nigerian Ambassadors, hosted by the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Mr Offor said “There are about 178 national investment promotion agencies across the globe and they are all trying to attract investments to their countries. That tells you that the competition for capital is intense, especially now that we are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“So when you talk about a particular country, you know those areas that the leading investors in those countries are looking at and if they might be looking towards investing in other countries.”

He said that NIPC conducted a study to identify countries that are of strategic importance to Nigeria’s economic development, adding that it was important to attract investors from these nations.

“NIPC will support all Embassies to project the investment opportunities in Nigeria,” he affirmed.
