Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, attended the Nigeria Investment Day 2025, organised by the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment in partnership with the Africa Finance Corporation. The event, themed “Risk, Reform, Return,” was held on the sidelines of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
At the forum, Shettima highlighted Nigeria’s $200-billion energy transition opportunity, urging investors to explore partnerships that would maximise the multi-faceted and multi-billion-dollar investment potential across the country. He further emphasised that Nigeria’s sovereign ratings by international platforms such as Fitch and Moody’s position the country as a strategic hub for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which represents a $3.4-trillion market.
The Vice President’s presentation underscores Nigeria’s drive to attract foreign investment, promote sustainable energy solutions, and integrate the country more deeply into continental trade frameworks. Analysts note that strategic partnerships in energy and infrastructure could accelerate economic growth, create jobs, and solidify Nigeria’s leadership role in Africa’s emerging markets.
