Some Turkish businessmen have arrived Nigeria to put up a multibillion dollars investment in the country in various sectors such as construction, health, education, pharmaceutical, iron and steel, solid minerals, among others.
At a meeting with the top management of the Nigeria Investment Promition Council (NIPC) led by the NIPC Executive Secretary, Mrs Saratu Umar, on Wednesday in Abuja, the leader of the delegation, Mr Behlul Fatih Basaran, disclosed that the 17-man Turkish investors were in the country to explore and exploit investment opportunities that abound in the economy.
To ensure that their dreams come true, Mr Basaran specifically solicited the Federal Government’s assistance through the NIPC to assist the team with all the legislative and other regulatory investment requirements in Nigeria.
According to him, the Turkish investors would need land, easy visa procurement, tax incentives or holidays as the case maybe.
Speaking at the event, the NIPC Executive Secretary commended the Turkish investors for having faith in the Nigerian economy in spite of all odds.
With the exploration of the NIPC one-stop investment shop, she said the commission would assist them in the areas of business registration at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), registration as investors, visa procurement and other issues dealing with expatriate quotas, land acquisition, operation licence and other inter-agency issues.
“We are ready to assist all of you with your needs, be it visa, land or licence. What we have in NIPC is a total package; we will avail you of all our services,” she assured them.
Mrs Umar also stated that the NIPC, after facilitating their investment in the country, would also keep a tab on their progress so that the commission could come in to render any assistance that may be required again.
Disclosing that some investors come and go away in the past without putting up a structure due to lack of effective follow up, the NIPC boss said since her assumption of duty, she had been embarking on transformation programme that would ensure that any investor that came to Nigeria to explore investment opportunities would come back to Nigeria and invest.
