Nigeria Remains An Important Investment And Export Destination - Tony Elumelu

Chairman United Bank for Africa  Plc, and Founder - Tony Elumelu Foundation, Mr Tony Elumelu,  was a keynote speaker in France on the 27th of May, 2016 at the 1st ‘Colloque Nigeria,’ a colloquium on doing business and investment in Nigeria, which was organised by the French Senate at the Palais de Luxembourg in Paris, France .

Tony Elumelu focused on promoting Nigeria as a top destination for investment to French investors and businesses.

According to him “Nigeria remains a very viable, attractive and important investment and export destination for French companies. As a matter of fact, I would argue that now is a good time to come and invest in Nigeria, because it is an investor’s market. The fundamentals of the Nigerian economy remain strong.”

“Nigeria has always been a unique country. We are not only the most populous country on the continent of Africa, we are amongst the best educated and most-travelled people in Africa. We Nigerians are well known for our positive outlook and can-do spirit. Even more importantly, we have a strong culture and spirit of entrepreneurship. The smart investor, knows that this is the time to enter our market because the fundamentals of the Nigerian economy remain strong, and where others perceive risk and challenge, the glass is actually half full rather than half empty.”
