The Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) says it will deploy personnel of the commission to boost investment promotion across 36 states in line with its mandate.
It stated this yesterday in Abuja at training on Nigerian Investment Certification Programme for States (NICPS) organised by the German Agency for International Corporation (GIZ) for NIPC staff.
In her remarks the executive secretary of the commission, Saratu Umar, said the training with support from GIZ was imported as staff of the commission will be armed with requisite knowledge before being deployed to states.
The ES who was represented by the director, policy advocacy at NIPC, Mr John Oseji, further said, “The commission will deploy staff members after the training to all the 36 states to help them in building their data bank that will provide requisite information for prospective investors.
“NIPC, according to its mandate, will help states provide adequate and timely information on available resources, infrastructure, economic viability and other adequate information that investors may require to shape their decisions while investing in different states of the federation.”
Oseji added that the training became relevant in line with the federal government’s drive to boost revenue through investments at the subnational levels.
