The Minister of Interior, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola has graced this year ‘KADINVEST Summit’, and delivered a goodwill message, today, in Kaduna, Kaduna State.

In the former Osun-State Governor, Ogbeni Aregbesola’s words;”Today, I delivered a goodwill message titled, ‘That business may thrive in Kaduna’, at the 6th Edition of the Annual Kaduna Economic Investment Summit, KADINVEST 6.0 in Kaduna, Kaduna State.

I informed the gathering that our Ministry from inception till date has handled 14,690 companies and granted 126,893 quota licences to expatriates. However, from August 2019 till date we have registered more than 2,000 companies while over 12,000 expatriates have been given permits to work in Nigeria.

We now handle applications with dispatch and will encourage any firm or organisation with genuine need for expatriates to bring their applications. We shall accord it with the required courtesy. The Minister also reiterated the fact that Nigeria is still a good and profitable investment haven, even in the face of security challenges.

In spite of the challenges we have faced as a nation, it might interest us to know that Nigeria is still an investor’s dream where there is abundant raw materials, highly skilled and affordable workforce and the largest market for goods and services in Africa. The return on investment has always been mouth-watering.”
