Eugene Itua & Emmanuel Essien
The article discusses the economic potential and investment paradox in Nigeria's fragile regions, which are rich in agriculture and solid minerals but face security challenges like insurgency and banditry. The authors propose a Framework for Private Investment in Nigeria's Regions to dismantle barriers and create a secure environment for private capital.
The framework aims to drive economic growth, job creation, and peace in vulnerable regions by addressing structural security risks, governance and regulatory risks, market and financial risks, and perception and contextual risks. By providing a strategic overview of different geopolitical zones and offering tools for risk management and opportunity identification, the framework seeks to attract investment, support resilient sectors, and contribute to lasting peace.
Ultimately, the authors emphasize the need for a collaborative approach to development and risk management in Nigeria's regions.
