President Buhari Promises To Make Nigeria Attractive For Investment At D-8 Turkey Summit

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday reiterated his administration’s commitment to the creation of enabling environment and making Nigeria an attractive place for business and investment.

Buhari made the pledge in his statement at the ninth summit of the D-8 Organisation for Economic Cooperation at Istanbul, Turkey. He said it was his belief that only economies that promote trade and attract investment grow at more sustainable rates.


Nigeria is committed to, and is actively pursuing a policy of trade and investment facilitation for growth. The gains from trade are reflected in greater competitiveness, improved productivity, job creation, consumer welfare and prosperity. He also urged governments of developing countries to encourage their respective economic agencies to be more active in participation at executive meetings organised by the organisation’s secretariat.


He assured the government and people of the country that Nigeria will continue to stand side by side with all peace-loving people of Turkey and elsewhere, for the defence and promotion of democracy and people’s choice.
