Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission’s (NIPC) effort to drive greater attention to subnational investment opportunities in Nigeria, led to the development of the Book of States, which is now available for download by the general public. The document will be launched formally in Q1 2021.
The Book of States was prepared with the support of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. It captures the competitive advantages and the key investment opportunities being promoted by each of Nigeria’s 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in an easily accessible format, to help investors better appreciate the investment potentials across Nigeria.
Having completed this maiden edition, NIPC will now commit its efforts to elevating the visibility of the investment prospects in each State and increase its capacity to proactively attract investor interest to target sectors and specific opportunities across Nigeria.
