Emir Sanusi has told global investors at the Tunisia summit that Nigeria offers vast returns in manufacturing, ICT, agriculture and finance.

Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has urged foreign investors to take advantage of the booming business environment in Nigeria to invest their resources for maximum profit margin.

The Emir solicited investment opportunities in Nigeria while addressing global investors and captains of industries at the International Financial Investment and Trade Conference holding in Tunisia.

In a statement issued by Munir Sanusi Bayero, Galadiman Kano and Chief of Staff to emir said Sanusi made a strong case for investment opportunities in Nigeria.

The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, explained that Nigeria reserves one of the fastest growing economies in Africa with highly competitive markets and business opportunities readily available for capital investors.

“Sanusi essentially appealed to business and investment giants to tap from the robust economy with enabling environment in the areas of Manufacturing, Agriculture, ICT, Innovation and financial sector to grow their investment.”

“He used the occasion to showcase the growing fortune and global investment of Aliko Dangote, who started his empire taking the Nigerian business environment, believed foreign investors should capitalise on similar advantage”

The Emir also, made a strong case for investment opportunities in his country home, assured socio-economic and natural endowments as major advantages investors should consider to build viral growth in Kano.

He said that Kano is a destination for trade, commerce and industries with 22 million population, natural resources, strategic location and well established international markets that serve many countries in West and Central Africa and beyond.

You dont know that most US companies are in China??

Most iPhone are assembled in China!

That is what a leader should do… not take your issues to the market square to address…

victorDanladi:

Poor funding for education
Budget is still heavily oil dependent
Corruption rampant
Need I go on?

For your mind you don drop OT. What investments did you bring to the north when you were CBN governor? You guys fuelled terrorism. Now you want people to come and invest? Getat

Okay

There are business opportunities in Nigeria, you are just the one who is lazy, and you will continue to suffer for your decision to not take action but instead waiting for government

Lol

He should save his urge. Tinubu is actively doing that.

The advice he ought to have given his brother, Buhar.i, during his era. He failed to give to that one threw the country down the drain. Now, he's here forming conso, when a capable hand is now already doing it.

100%

You are right

Which business opportunities? In the zoo?

Obi see ur mate

What business opportunity are you referring to? In a country plagued by massive insecurity, a compromised judiciary that favors the highest bidder, a rapidly devaluing Naira, deeply entrenched corruption among leaders, unreliable and expensive electricity, low purchasing power, a declining standard of living, dilapidated roads, and a police force and EFCC riddled with corruption, it’s hard to see where real opportunity lies.

If Nigerian governors are truly serious about attracting serious foreign capital, they must evolve beyond opaque “Come and invest” rhetoric and adopt bankable, investor-grade blueprints that make ROI visibility and government guarantees crystal clear.

Here’s how:

1. INVESTMENT PACKAGING TEMPLATE FOR EACH OPPORTUNITY

Each project (Agriculture, Mining, Industrial Parks, Oil Blocks, Green Energy) must come with:
• Total Capital Requirement: e.g., $40M to build modular cassava processing plant
• Expected Investor Contribution: e.g., $30M equity, $10M equipment credit
• Projected ROI Timeline: e.g., 24–36 months for IRR >18%
• Land Size & Title Status: e.g., 100 hectares, gazetted, surveyed
• Market Offtake Ready: e.g., MoU with Nestlé, or state commodity board
• Tax Incentives: e.g., 5 years corporate tax break
• Import/Export Relief: e.g., waived import duties on machinery, priority port access
• Workforce Plan: e.g., 60% local content, 40% skilled expats allowed
• Exit Strategy: e.g., Buyback clause, IPO option, or regional acquisition triggers


2. STATE-FEDERAL INVESTOR PROTECTION FRAMEWORK
• State provides access + logistics + power
• Federal guarantees capital repatriation, security, dispute resolution via arbitration
• All contracts backed by Nigeria’s Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) risk coverage fund

3. CENTRALIZED NATIONAL INVESTMENT PORTAL

Develop a federal website (e.g., www.investNigeria.gov.ng) where:
• Each state s verified investment packages
• Interactive map shows:
Sectoral options (Agri, Energy, Tech)
Risk ratings
Past ROI for similar projects
• Includes able feasibility studies, ESG ratings, and fast-track visa links

We keep making noise about wanting foreign investors, but there is not a single website on possible investment, each state and the federal government should list where they could use foreign investors and the estimated ROI and state and government protection guarantees, import waivers,

Some states can use investments of 1 million dollars, some 100 million
And the federal government could have projects of 100 million to 10 billion dollars

Add fake drugs and fake products.

Get sense for once nah... Must you be an arse licker and sycophant throughout the rest of your life? Haba...

Please Emir Sanusi tap the federal government to be considerate with insecurity in the country before you start inviting foreign investors to come in with their money
