The Nigerian Traders Business Forum is a platform that encourages small and medium scale businesses to be
active players in the Nigerian Investment Hub for economic growth and
development.
With active partnership of
the Government, infant industries can be supported. Similarly, investors can be
motivated to invest in industries with potential multiplier effect on the
growth of the economy.
With the government
exploring other sectors of the economy such as manufacturing and agriculture,
this forum can play an active role in employment generation and manpower development.
With the present
administrations focus on improving the business and investment climate in
Nigeria through the ease of doing business policies and the other various
investment incentives such as tax holidays, capital allowances, investments,
subsidies, export expansion grants, export development funds among others.
Nigeria as a Country is
blessed with enormous human and material resources. It sits on a landmass of
923,768km2.
Nigeria has a population
estimation of about 200million people. Chief among the natural resources, the
country is blessed with oil, solid minerals, a beautiful climate and land for
agricultural production.
With these assets, Nigeria
presents a robust platform for exponential economic growth.
One of the key factors which
engender economic growth is the presence of viable and vibrant investment
culture.
An investment culture is one
which encourages Nigerians both at home and in diaspora to invest in the
Nigeria economy. This can be done through individual investments, a consortium,
foreign direct investment, public-private partnerships, or a combination of two
or all of the above.
It therefore becomes necessary
to provide a platform to drive this economic growth, one of such platforms is
the establishment of this forum to actualize this idea.
