‘Abuja Business Summit Will Attract Investors, Spur Economic Growth’

Abuja Investments Company Limited (AICL) is set to have its first-ever Abuja Business and Investment Summit with the aim to attract investors and spur Economic growth in the Federal Capital Territory.

In a statement, AICL said the event is slated for October adding that the high-profile event is determined to showcase the city’s immense investment potential and foster strategic partnerships with diplomatic countries, organisations, and investors from both domestic and international markets.

According to the group managing director and CEO of AICL, Maureen Tamuno, the summit is a direct response to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the minister’s mandate to improve productivity across various sectors.

She said, “Abuja is ripe with investment potential. We are eager to collaborate with various states, and countries and partner with organisations.

Our environment is conducive and favourable, brimming with business opportunities.

“AICL is the investment arm of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and is limited by shares. We do numerous business/investments that focus on various sectors, and we can point investors to the right place to invest, including our sister agencies in Abuja. We were motivated by the need of the moment, which is the inflation rate in the country; people need to know what to do to create wealth for themselves.”

According to the statement, the minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, will be the special guest of honour. The event is expected to feature speakers which include: the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the current Governor of Anambra State Professor Charles Soludo, MD/CEO of Lagos Bus Service Ltd Idowu Oguntola, Founder/Chairman FAD Media Group Fidelis Duker, Honourable Commissioner Budget and Economic Planning Anambra State Chiamaka Nnake, Special Adviser to the President on Economic Affairs Tope Fasua, and DG/CEO of NITDA Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, amongst others.
