The FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, has urged a visiting delegation from Poland to make Abuja the hub for Polish investment in West Africa.
The Minister made this call when organizers of the Polish-Nigeria Business and Investment Summit (PONBIS) paid him a courtesy visit yesterday in Abuja.
He expressed concern that the commercial relationship between Nigeria and Poland has been so skeletal even though the country is one of the fastest growing economies in Europe today.
He also cited Poland’s proficiency in the construction and heavy steel industries.
Malam Bello highlighted the attractiveness of Abuja as an investment destination enumerating its qualities such as being the capital of a great country, its central location, well developed infrastructure and enabling investment climate.
Earlier in his remarks at the occasion, the leader of the delegation Dr. Piotr Uruski, a member of the Polish Parliament disclosed that they were in FCT to invite the Administration to the First Polish-Nigeria Investment Summit scheduled in Poznan, Poland on the 25th and 26th of September this year.
Dr. Uruski revealed that he would want the Minister to address the Polish parliament as well as meet with the Poznan Marshall, (equivalent of a Governor in Nigeria) towards establishing mutual cooperation and trade promotion.
