Nigeria is looking to attract more foreign investors at the World Economic Forum in Davos, to ensure a beneficial global participation in this year’s World Economic Forum on Africa which will be hosted by Nigeria in Abuja from May 7 to 9 2014.
Leading key members of the government’s Economic Management Team from the public and private sectors and the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, The Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, will leave Abuja on Tuesday for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
A statement from the presidency reveals that President Jonathan is scheduled to host special events in Davos aimed at boosting attendance at the economic forum in Abuja by leading players in the world’s political and economic affairs who meet in the Swiss winter resort annually.
“It is expected that the forum will bring regional, continental and global leaders together in Abuja to discuss innovative structural reforms and investments which Nigeria and other African nations can buy into to sustain their economic growth, create more productive jobs for their youthful populations and greater prosperity for all their citizens,” the statement read.
The theme of the World Economic Forum on Africa in Abuja is “Forging Inclusive Growth, Creating Jobs” which is in tandem with Nigeria’s economic priorities for 2014, as enunciated in this year’s national budget proposals.
