Nigeria Governors' Forum Investopedia 2025

Abstract

The report uncovers a wide range of opportunities in high-potential sectors including agriculture, renewable energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, tourism, and digital technology. It also highlights major state-led projects, competitive advantages, and investor-friendly policies aimed at creating an enabling business environment. The ultimate goal is to make it easier for investors to find, assess, and act on opportunities that align with national development objectives and local comparative strengths.

The insights in this report are the result of a rigorous three-month data collection exercise involving direct outreach to state governments. Each state provided validated information across four key thematic areas: priority investment opportunities, competitive economic advantages, key policy initiatives, and flagship projects. This effort was complemented by extensive desk research using data from reputable sources, including state government budget documents, the National Bureau of Statistics, and other publicly available government reports.
