“The
investment destination in Africa is Nigeria. The country is blessed with
untapped resources including a vast market owing to population of approximately

in Nigeria will regret in the nearest future. There are opportunities in
agriculture, solid minerals, tourism and services among others. Currently, the
Nigerian government is supporting initiatives aimed at diversifying the economy
as against depending on oil”.
