Investor Presentaiton

on the 8th February 2007, a decision was made that a Seminar be organized on specific issues on the Nigerian investment climate. Presidential Committee on Problems of Investors: As the Secretariat of the Presidential Committee on Problems of Investors, concerted efforts were made early in the year to keep the committee alive. Meetings were organized but the late constitution of the Federal Executive Council, coupled with the pronouncement of Mr. President on suspension of concessions, waivers and some incentives, put paid to these efforts. However, a memorandum has been forwarded to the Honourable Minister of Commerce & Industry to brief him about the committee and explore the possibility of resuscitating the committee. This may have to await the outcome of the work of the Presidential Committee on Review of Waivers and Concessions, which is almost rounding off its assignment Workshop on Export and Investment Promotion Through Export Production Villages in Katsina State Held on Tuesday 24th July 2007 The Commission was represented at the above workshop jointly organized by Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) and Katsina State Ministry of Commerce. The workshop emphasized the promotion of SMEs and private sector-led economy. The Department made a presentation on "Attracting Domestic and Foreign Investment: A Lesson for Katsina State". The presentation talked generally on domestic and foreign investments, their characteristics, nature and their conditions for attracting investments. It also brought out some lessons for Katsina State which included measures the State should take on to attract investments. Highlights of the One Stop Investment Centre, the NCI and the Sector -Specific Investment Policy were given.
