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
