The Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) says it is strengthening discussions with the United Kingdom government to attract more investment into key sectors of Nigeria’s economy.
The development followed the UK–Nigeria Trade and Investment Mission held in Abuja, where the NIPC served as host and strategic partner alongside DMA Invest and the UK Department of Trade.
According to the Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the NIPC, Aisha Rimi, the engagement is aimed at converting diplomatic and trade discussions into real investment projects that will benefit Nigeria’s economy.
She said the focus is to ensure that recent high-level engagements, including the UK–Nigeria partnership discussions and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state visit, translate into practical economic outcomes.
Rimi explained that the mission featured ministerial roundtables, sector-specific discussions, and both business-to-government and business-to-business meetings designed to identify viable investment opportunities.
She added that the goal is to move beyond discussions and secure actionable partnerships that can boost capital inflows and strengthen economic ties between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
