Impact Investors Foundation Reveals Disparities in Nigeria's Capital Inflow Distribution
The Impact Investors Foundation disclosed that Lagos attracts a significant portion of Nigeria's capital inflow, with the southwest region receiving 65-70% of total investments, particularly in fintech and digital services. However, other regions like the north and northwest receive minimal funding, mainly in agriculture and social sectors.
The foundation highlighted the importance of mobilizing domestic capital sources, including pension funds and diaspora remittances, to reduce dependence on foreign aid. Progress in local currency financing and support from international partners like IFC and AfDB were acknowledged.
The report also warned about structural challenges posed by regional capital flow imbalances.
