FDI: Wike, Soludo Widen Investments Dragnet For Nigeria

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike and Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo have widened the dragnet for investments in the country.

They used the occasion of the Abuja Business and Investment Summit organized by the Abuja Investment Company Limited, an agency of the FCTA, yesterday to showcase various economic development opportunities that abound in the capital, as well as across the country.

Wike, who urged both local and foreign investors to take advantage of the government’s friendly investment policies, also emphasized the need for individuals and organisations to be prompt in paying taxes. He said payment of taxes would enable the government at all levels to provide basic infrastructures needed to incubate Investments and make them thrive.

The former Rivers State governor said: “That’s why the government say pay your tax; it’s very important. “And so, while we provide the enabling environment, we also believe that we have to encourage you (investors) so that you get what you are supposed to get and the government gets what it is supposed to get.

That way, everybody will go home smiling.” Soludo called on Nigerians to stop despising madein-Nigeria products but to embrace them and also invest in the development of raw materials that abound across the country.

According to him, his administration in Anambra State has placed priority on locally produced materials, as a way of demonstrating patriotism and also building the economy.
