Nigeria Targets $500 Billion at World Investment Summit 2026

Nigeria is targeting $500 billion in investments as it prepares to host the World Investment Summit from June 24-26, 2026, in Abuja. The announcement was made during a press conference at the Transcorp Hilton Abuja by Princ Adeniyi Adeyemi and Matthew.

The summit is expected to attract around 8,000 participants, including heads of state, ministers, global CEOs, and development partners. This event marks a pivotal moment in Nigeria's economic trajectory under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, which has initiated reforms aimed at restoring investor confidence and enhancing the country's growth outlook.

Key reforms include exchange rate unification, removal of fuel subsidies, and fiscal restructuring. The summit will feature 15 thematic tracks, addressing global investment challenges such as food security and climate change.

High-profile participants are expected from major economies, and Nigeria's delegation, led by Georg Akum, will participate in a ceremonial closing bell ringing across global stock exchanges. The summit aims to launch a world investment platform and establish an investment innovation hub in Abuja.
