The Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) says it is advancing talks with the United Kingdom government to attract investments in key sectors of the economy.

This forms part of the resolution when NIPC acted as both host and strategic partner for the UK-Nigeria Trade & Investment Mission, held in Abuja in collaboration with DMA Invest and the UK Department of Trade

Driving the engagement was the Executive Secretary/CEO of NIPC, Aisha Rimi, emphasized the urgency of translating the momentum from recent successful state visit of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR and numerous UK-Nigeria engagements into tangible investment outcomes.

"This Mission is not just about conversations--it is about conversion," she noted adding, "Our priority is to ensure that strategic engagements lead to real projects and partnerships, that create real impact on Nigeria's economy."

She noted that the two-day event had included ministerial roundtables, sector-focused discussions, and targeted Business-to-Government (B2G) as Business-to-Business (B2B) meetings which will move beyond dialogue to action, identifying concrete, bankable opportunities aimed at accelerating investment inflows and deepening bilateral economic ties.
