First Commonwealth investment conference

    ABIDJAN

    A Commonwealth-Nigeria investment conference, entitled 'The New Democratic Nigeria: Inward Investment Opportunities' will be held from 28 February to 1 March in Abuja, according to a Commonwealth news release.

    Organised by the Commonwealth Business Council in association with the Nigerian government and the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, the conference will focus on private sector investment opportunities in the telecommunications, power, water, oil, gas, transport and agro-allied industries.

    "The conference is the Commonwealth's contribution to re-building Nigeria's economy," Chief Emeka Anyaoku, the Commonwealth secretary-general, said. "It is particularly welcome at a time when foreign investment has such an important role to play in the task of economic regeneration and in
    underpinning the new democratic dispensation."
