According to the Minister: “This event is a significant step in the drive towards facilitating trade and investment not only for Nigeria, but sub-regionally and on the African Continent. Nigerian and African economies need to be connected, integrated and diversified and facilitating investment and trade will be key to achieving these objectives

“United Nation Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) forecasts that developing countries will need an additional $2.5 trillion annually in foreign and domestic investment to meet the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

“The World Bank estimates that Africa’s total infrastructure investment requirements at roughly $120-150 billion per annum and estimates the gap between infrastructure investment requirements and available financial resources at about $60-80 billion per annum

“The case for trade and investment facilitation can therefore, not be overemphasized. I reiterate that this government is committed to investment facilitation, by creating a more investment friendly business climate and making it easier for both domestic and foreign investors to invest”.
