In a strategic push to strengthen economic ties and improve Nigeria’s investment landscape, the European Union and Germany engaged key stakeholders at a high-level forum hosted by the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) in collaboration with GIZ.
The Stakeholders’ Engagement convened in Abuja brought together European investors, policymakers, and business leaders to chart actionable steps for enhancing the ease of doing business in Nigeria. Discussions centered on unlocking opportunities in renewable energy, infrastructure, technology, and logistics—critical sectors for Nigeria’s economic diversification and sustainability agenda.
Massimo De Luca, Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, reaffirmed the EU’s commitment to Nigeria under the Global Gateway Strategy, highlighting the bloc’s readiness to scale up investments, strengthen connectivity, and consolidate trade ties.
“The EU’s partnership with Nigeria is long-standing. We are ready to deepen this collaboration by investing in key sectors that support inclusive and sustainable growth,” said De Luca.
The engagement served as a vital platform for dialogue between Nigerian institutions and European investors, with a shared focus on building investor confidence, fostering innovation, and accelerating trade flows.
As Nigeria continues to position itself as a gateway to West Africa, the EU’s proactive stance signals a renewed effort to support the country’s development goals through targeted, high-impact investments and strategic cooperation.
