The Federal Government has invited global investors to explore Nigeria’s expanding economic opportunities, positioning the country as a key gateway to Africa’s next phase of growth and innovation.
Delivering an address at the 2025 Milken Institute Global Conference in New York, the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite, described Nigeria as a country in transition—focused on strategic reforms that are opening key sectors for long-term investment and sustainable development.
She said Nigeria is actively strengthening intra-African trade and investment ties under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), a continental framework that aims to accelerate industrialisation and build regional value chains.
According to her, the phased implementation of AfCFTA will reduce tariffs on 90 percent of goods traded within Africa, thereby creating new avenues for businesses and investors across the continent.
With its central role in the AfCFTA, Nigeria, she explained, is increasingly attractive to investors in sectors such as agriculture, energy, digital economy, infrastructure, mining, manufacturing, and healthcare.
