President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in New York made moves to woo investors to Nigeria, saying the nation, being the largest in Africa with over $400 billion in GDP and over 200 million people, is indeed an investors haven.
Contentedly, he said Nigeria’s economic growth has been mostly driven by the non-oil sector, even as he stated confidently that the nation is overcoming insecurity threats with huge prospects for stability which foreign direct investments can count upon.
“The advantages and disadvantages of investing in Nigeria far outweigh the challenges,” Buhari declared while speaking at Nigeria International Economic Partnership Forum on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
The Nigerian leader who was represented by his chief of staff, Prof Ibrahim Gambari, said the development gives credence to the revenue source diversification agenda of his administration.

For our economy, we recorded a quarterly GDP growth in Q1 2022. The growth has been mostly driven by the non-oil sector, giving credence to the revenue source diversification agenda of the government.
