The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has highlighted the importance of engaging stakeholders from Nigeria’s public and private sectors to promote foreign direct investment (FDI).
In a statement released on Friday following the Third Existing Foreign Direct Investors (FDI) Roundtable held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, PEBEC emphasized the need for a solutions-driven dialogue to strengthen the country’s investment climate.
Speaking at the event, Senator Ibrahim Hadejia, Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, welcomed participants on behalf of the Vice President and reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to creating a stable, transparent, and competitive business environment that encourages investment, expansion, and long-term economic growth.
On her part, Princess Zahrah Mustapha Audu, Director-General of PEBEC, emphasized the Council’s commitment to sustained investor dialogue and coordinated reform implementation across government institutions.
She noted that existing foreign investors remain critical partners in Nigeria’s economic development through their contributions to job creation, capital investment, technology transfer, and supply chain development.
She further highlighted that PEBEC’s engagement strategy places significant emphasis on listening to investors already operating in the country and addressing practical challenges that affect their operations.
The Roundtable featured key participants including Dr. Zacch Adedeji, Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service; Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service; and IGP Olutunji Rilwan Disu, Inspector-General of Police.
Also participating virtually were Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms and Minister of State for Finance (Designate), and members of the diplomatic community.
“The successful convening of the Third Existing FDI Roundtable reinforces PEBEC’s role as a key institutional platform for coordinating reforms, resolving investor concerns, and strengthening Nigeria’s position as a competitive investment destination in Africa,” PEBEC stated.
