The Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) has reinforced its commitment to driving economic growth by attracting new investments and retaining existing ones. Speaking during a media parley in Abuja, the Executive Secretary, Aisha Rimi, highlighted the agency’s focus on fintech, agri-tech, and renewable energy to position Nigeria as a hub for innovation and sustainable development. She also emphasized fostering investor-friendly environments through robust strategies and sub-national collaborations.
Rimi noted that the NIPC is prioritizing eco-friendly projects aligned with global sustainability trends and Nigeria’s economic diversification goals. To achieve this, the commission has implemented feedback mechanisms to address investor concerns and launched capacity-building initiatives for local entrepreneurs. The Nigerian Investment Certification Programme for states was cited as a key tool in promoting regional strengths and creating a unified strategy for attracting socially responsible investments.
In collaboration with international organizations such as the UNDP, JICA, and GIZ, the NIPC aims to enhance Nigeria’s global investment appeal. These partnerships provide technical and financial expertise while advancing the nation’s green agenda. Rimi affirmed that the commission is actively working to establish a strong brand identity for Nigeria as a leading destination for sustainable and socially responsible investments.
