Muhammad Yusuf Lere, the special adviser to Kaduna State Governor on Trade and Investment has urged those willing to invest in Nigeria not to ‘go through the back door’ but follow the right channels. He said this at a media briefing on the forthcoming 2nd Nigerian Diaspora Direct Investment Summit (NDDIS) in London scheduled for June. He asked potential investors to ‘always do business the right way’ to avoid failures and other negative outcomes in their enterprises.
He advised Nigerians in the Diaspora to be creative when it comes to doing business and come up with business ideas that would contribute to the economic development of the country. Kaduna State, he said, is an investment haven with more than 100 solid minerals and other investment potentials so he urged investors to take advantage of the state government’s open door policy and the state’s proximity to Abuja to establish businesses in the state.
Mr. Bimbo Folayan, Executive Director of NDDIS said the summit was aimed at showcasing Nigeria’s investment potentials and attracting investment into Nigeria, as well as helping Nigerians in Diaspora to go home and invest in their country.
