by nadum 13 Nov , 2015  

The German group is to dedicate a special session for Nigeria at the18th Euro Finance Week conference, under the patronage of the Minister of Finance, Federal Republic of Germany and Minister President of State of Hessen.

Critical areas of focus would be the following sectors: Agriculture/Agribusiness, Electricity-Renewables, Solid Minerals and Mining, Education, Skills Acquisition, Training and manpower development, Health Care, Housing, Financing-Banks, Insurance and Pensions Funds Management firms, Infrastructure and Industrial development.

Cliff Ogbede whose company Kleef and VTS is the official country partner of the event holding in Congress Messe Frankfurt, Germany from November 16 to 20, said the conference slated to hold in Congress Messe Frankfurt, Germany from November 16 to 20, 2015, would play host to major European investors who have developed genuine interest to invest in Nigeria under the new leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

This plan became reality based on a renewed trust and hope for Nigeria under the present leadership, which would showcase the enormous potential of Nigeria at the week-long conference.

“This is expected to bring huge investible outflow from the EU countries which would help to stimulate economic growth and create jobs in the country,” Ogbede said.

The President, who is perceived to be a man of high integrity whose commitment to stamp out corruption, end insurgency in some part of the country and reposition Nigeria for socio-political and economic growth is being applauded globally, and attracting renewed attention to Nigeria.

“We are excited about the new interests for Nigeria from the EU investors which shows that Nigeria, apart from being the most populous black nation in the world and the largest economy in Africa is now repositioned to attain economic greatness, having considered to diversify the economy from the non oil sector, which places the country as a prime destination for foreign direct investments within the continent of Africa.

“We believe that the Nigerian delegation to the event will take advantage of this great opportunity to showcase potentials, thereby outlining government policies in terms of supporting FDI’s, ensure match making which will lead to signing up of new partnerships for the country” Ogbede said.

Euro Finance week is the biggest European financial services sector conference which offers a platform for financial policy formulation, business and investment promotion and high level business match making and networking.

Apart from Nigeria, this year’s Euro Finance Week conference would equally play host to countries of China, Iran  and Turkey as these countries would be going to the event with their heads of government, director generals of key government agencies, industry regulators, heads of public and private corporations including  important business leaders.
