PEBEC Advocates for Collaboration to Boost Nigeria's Investment

The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has called for increased public-private collaboration to boost investment in Nigeria. Zahra Mustapha Audu, the Director General of PEBEC, made this call during the third Foreign Direct Investor Roundtable held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The event aimed to bring together senior government officials and foreign investors currently operating in Nigeria to discuss ways to strengthen the country's investment climate. Audu emphasized the need for sustained dialogue with investors to understand and address the practical challenges they face.

She noted that existing foreign investors are critical partners in Nigeria's economic development, contributing to job creation, capital investment, technology transfer, and supply chain development. The event was attended by key figures, including Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Hadejia, and representatives from various diplomatic missions.

The discussions reinforced PEBEC's role as a platform for coordinating reforms and resolving investor concerns to enhance Nigeria's competitiveness as an investment destination in Africa.
