FG Woos US Investors To Nigeria, Assures Of Business Opportunities

The federal government has moved to attract investors and business owners from the United States of America even as it assured that Nigeria is conducive and has all what it takes for investment opportunities.
The chairman and CEO of the Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, gave this assurance while delivering a keynote address as guest speaker at the prestigious Pre-Africa Diaspora Investment Summit (ADIS26) Partnerships Dinner in Silicon Valley, California, United States of America.
Director of Media, Public Relations and Protocols, NIDCOM, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, stated on Monday, that spoke at the exclusive dinner served as a prelude to the main African Diaspora Investment Symposium 2026 (ADIS26), which took place at Santa Clara University under the theme “Bridging Africa & Silicon Valley: Shaping the Future of Innovation, Investment, and Inclusive Growth.”
Dabiri-Erewa highlighted Nigeria’s strategic focus on harnessing the expertise, capital, and networks of its vibrant diaspora to drive national growth, economic diversification, and technological advancement, and highlighted policies put in place by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
She emphasised the administration’s ongoing efforts to strengthen diaspora engagement and create enabling frameworks for productive investments back home.
The NIDCOM boss commended the enthusiasm and collaborative spirit demonstrated by Nigerians in the US, reaffirming the immense potential of the diaspora as a catalyst for growth and development.

She appreciated Almaz Negash, Founder and CEO of the African Diaspora Network (ADN), and the entire organising team for their exceptional leadership in convening the impactful event.

“Their dedication continues to foster meaningful connections that translate into tangible opportunities for Africa and its diaspora.

The same message was reiterated during a working lunch with Nigerian professionals who expressed their enthusiasm to work with NIDCOM to contribute their quota to National development, the statement said.

The two events brought together prominent Nigerians, African, and American leaders, innovators, investors, and policymakers, and created a vibrant platform for meaningful dialogue on diaspora-driven investments, innovation, and sustainable partnerships between Africa and the global tech ecosystem, reflecting a shared commitment to moving beyond remittances toward impactful, long-term investments in Africa’s development.
