Words of Wisdom • "Nigeria has the most attractive environment for investment in Nigeria because Nigeria is a large market in the continent; it is the second largest economy in the continent. For me, while we say the country's current investment climate could be better in terms of providing electricity, access to finance and other things, you should also look at the huge opportunities for investment in Nigeria" - Marie Francoise Marie-Nelly, Country Director, World Bank, Nigeria.
