At the conference, the President wooed investors, saying Nigeria offers attractive investment opportunities with some of the highest “Returns-on-Investment’’.
President Buhari, who presented Nigeria’s Statement at Plenary Session Three on “Public-Private Business Dialogue” at the seventh TICAD7, assured potential investors of good returns as a result of ongoing reform measures taken by his administration.
He identified power, transportation, infrastructure, maritime/shipping, agro-processing, mining, manufacturing, petro-chemicals, food processing and textiles among others, as “key drivers to the diversification” of the Nigerian economy as well as “priority areas that will drive our Economic Agenda”.
The President, therefore, maintained that he looked forward to “welcoming prospective investors to Nigeria”.
