Shettima woos foreign investors

Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged foreign investors to take advantage of the opportunities in Nigeria.

He made the call on Tuesday in his remarks at a side event of the ongoing UN Food Systems Summit, themed ‘Scaling up of multi-stakeholder collaboration and investments in the implementation of the food systems pathways in Nigeria’.

Shettima, who said the country is now ready for business, stated that the combination of Nigeria’s young, energetic population and the agenda of the new administration placed the country far ahead of others in the region.

“We have the capacity of transforming the demographic bulge into demographic dividends or it will be the demographic disaster that will consume all of us.

“With determined leadership and the support of the global community, we believe, as eternal optimists do, that there is hope on the horizon,” he added in a statement issued on Wednesday by Olusola Abiola, Director Information, Office of the Vice President.

“We have a president who has a private sector background and a vice president who is also from the private sector. We have a president who has the knack for selecting the best to drive the process.

“Be rest assured that the next frontiers for global development are facing Africa and Nigeria will make or mar that transition,” the V-P stated.
