Investors and global business owners from more than 50 countries, including North and South America, Europe and the Middle East will converge on Nigeria between November 10 and 11, 2026 at the Abuja Continental Hotel to discuss business investment across broad range of sectors.

The main focus is on creating practical connections that can lead to transactions, partnerships, financing, technology transfer, expansion and job creation.

President, Business Summit Group (BSG), Dato’ Dr Haider Uzzaman, who revealed this at a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, said the event tagged, “International Investors Summit Nigeria 2026”, is targeting the mobilisation of more than $100 billion investment opportunities across sectors, which include oil and gas, green and renewable energy, technology and other sectors of the Nigerian economy.

Uzzaman said, the summit is essentially to bring investors and investees, governments and businesses and promising projects and global markets together, not only to help them gain access to international markets but also to identify potential investors and build global business relationships.

He said: “This is a very important moment for us because we are bringing together international investors, global business leaders, government representatives and project owners from across the world to Nigeria. We believe that Nigeria has enormous investment opportunities, tremendous human capital, abundant natural resources and a strategic position within Africa and the global economy.

“Our objective is, therefore, to create a platform where these opportunities can be presented directly to serious international investors.

“We are targeting the mobilisation of more than $100 billion in investment opportunities and commitments across a broad range of sectors. These include oil and gas, green and renewable energy, technology, artificial intelligence and fintech, healthcare, agriculture and agro-processing, mining, infrastructure, human resources development and education and other strategic sectors of the Nigerian and African economies.

“We are not bringing investors to Nigeria merely for speeches and ceremonies. We want investors to meet real businesses, real project owners and government representatives with investment-ready opportunities.”

Vice president Africa, BSG, Mr Innocent Owoicho Obande, in his remarks, charged federal and state governments to create a conducive environment for investors to invest in the country and create avenues that will bring succour to Nigerians across board.

“State and federal governments must be interested in genuinely wanting investors and remove anything that will frustrate them from investing. All of us are responsible for the government and the country we want to live in. Our business is to match investors with those who have projects for investment,” he said.

Among those expected at the event are President Joseph Boakai of Republic of Liberia, President Vit Jedlicka of Free Republic of Liberland, state governments, investment agencies and project owners. (Nigerian Tribune)
