I would like to inform you a bit about Nigeria. According to this source, the Minister of Finance made the following remarks last week:"The government cannot work alone. It can work to create the enabling environment for investment but cannot generate all the capital that is required. As an example, the size of Nigeria's infrastructure deficit is estimated at more than US$100 billion.He called on both the local and foreign investors to partner with the government not only to achieve its own objectives but also for investors to achieve attractive returns. According to him, investing in Nigeria is a win-win situation for all stakeholders adding that Nigeria is a nation with significant human resources, with a population of over 140 million people, close to three times the population of South Africa which, for now, is the foremost destination for investment in Africa.He noted that by 2050, Nigeria is expected to be the 6th largest country in the world, with an estimated population of 287 million people. "It is the largest market in Sub-Saharan Africa with a potential that stretches into the West African sub region. In addition, a significant proportion of the labour force is educated, intelligent, hardworking and available to work at attractive economic prices.If you are an investor looking to Africa, you should take Nigeria into account, no doubt. It's an emerging market with great room for growth.Thanks for visiting us again and again.
