The Nigerian Ambassador to Mexico, Adejare Bello has disclosed that Mexican investors are willing to invest heavily in Nigeria’s economy but for the prevailing security situation in the country.
Bello said the embassy receives frequent enquiries from investors on possible areas of collaboration between both countries but all these efforts to attract foreign investments are being thwarted by the news of insecurity.
