Message from
HE Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
I am delighted to invite you to attend the Nigerian International Investors Forum (NIIF) 2012 in Abuja
on 27 - 29 June 2012.
My administration is very committed to the establishment of a strong foundation on which to build
development for Nigerians with equal opportunities for all. We have therefore prioritised power
generation and distribution, tackling corruption and security for Nigeria and the Niger Delta, along
with Water, Health, Transport and an improved business environment for job creation and human
empowerment.
Building on the past decade of sustained economic and democratic development, I believe the
nation has an abundance of significant opportunities to be explored for development and
investment including bridging the infrastructure gap, revitalising agriculture and manufacturing,
and rebalancing the dependence on oil. The challenge of generating inclusive development and
improving national capacity and skills are also critical to achieving high growth rates.
The NIIF provides a good platform to focus on how the private and public sector can forge
sustainable partnerships in respect of reaching the national objective which is to become one of
the top global economic leaders by the year 2020. With this abundance of investment
opportunities, we will be glad to welcome a selected audience of business leaders and investors
to assist the achievement of these goals.
This Nigerian International Investors Forum will be organised by NIPC in partnership with the
Commonwealth Business Council and Image Affairs Nigeria.
I hope that you will be able to attend this important event and look forward to welcoming you to
Abuja.
Goodluck Jonathan
Message from H. Odein Ajumogobia, SAN
Chairman, Image Affairs Nigeria
I am delighted on behalf of Image Affairs Nigeria, to express our commitment to the success
of this 2nd Nigeria International Investment Forum, through a deepening collaborative
partnership with two formidable and complementary organisations, The Nigerian Investment
Promotion Commission and the Commonwealth Business Council.
Just as Africa is acknowledged as the new frontier for growth, Nigeria's offer of an
unparalleled spectrum of opportunity for such enterprise is equally recognised and has
therefore come to be the focus of this unique investment forum.
At this conference prospective investors will receive all the information they will need to fully
appreciate the business opportunities that abound in Nigeria.
Image Affairs Nigeria are thus pleased to welcome you all to this dynamic and invaluable
African investment forum.
Message from Dr. Mohan Kaul
Co-Chair, Commonwealth Business Council
I am delighted that CBC is organising the 2nd Nigeria International Investors Forum in
partnership with the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission and Image Affairs Nigeria.
As Co-Chair of the Commonwealth Business Council, I am looking forward to returning to one
of the most dynamic, fastest growing and entrepreneurial countries in Africa, if not the world.
This year’s Forum will build on the success of the Inaugural Forum held in 2011, by showcasing
the tremendous opportunities available to international investors in Nigeria. This year the
Forum will have a strong State Level programme, and will be addressed by a number of State
Governors alongside Federal Ministers and representatives of international business.
I look forward to meeting you in Abuja
Message from Eng. Mustafa Bello
Executive Secretary, Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission
It is with great pleasure that I again welcome you to the 2nd Nigeria International
Investment Forum in Abuja.
The event will showcase the abundant investment opportunities our nation is
endowed with as well as show you the economic transformation agenda of President,
Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR.
Nigeria has huge market potential and abundant natural resources and the Nigerian
Government is dedicated to creating a business friendly climate that is attractive to
international investors. To achieve this, the NIPC is reviewing investment policies and sector
specific incentives in the country.
As we partner with the Commonwealth Business Council and Image Affairs Nigeria, in
organising a resounding event, we urge you to take advantage of this all-important forum
