Do Business With Nigeria, Benefits Outweighs Challenges – Buhari To Potential Investors

The Federal Government has reassured potential investors and members of the international community that conducting business in Nigeria is more beneficial than challenging.

President Muhammadu Buhari gave the assurance yesterday in Abuja at 42nd Technical Conference of the Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators (CATA).

Nigeria is a secure and conducive place to conduct business with the potential for investment possibilities, according to Buhari, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. Boss Mustapha.

Buhari noted that his administration has deliberately taken strategic steps to create a conducive environment for business activities to thrive and encourage foreign direct investment.

Specifically, the President stated that “the implementation of our ease of doing business programmes monitors all indices of doing businesses in Nigeria with a view of removing frauds that are potentially employed in the way of economic progress”.

While inviting foreign investors to the country, Buhari urged them to “come and do business in Nigeria, and I am sure you that those who have already acquainted themselves with identified challenges will testify that the benefits outweigh the challenges.”

President Buhari added,

“it is no longer news that rapid advancement in science and technology have led to the evolution of communication channels that have reduced distinct barriers in trade to the bare minimum”.

He noted that the “digitalization of businesses has increased purchasing power and ensured that remote access to goods and services has grown”.
