Nigerian and Ghanaian officials began talks in Abuja on Thursday on the establishment of an Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (IPPA) and investment code between the two countries, AFP reported.
The meeting was expected to focus on strategies for promoting investments and to identify specific ways to get the private sector in the two countries more involved in the regional integration process, AFP said.
Its agenda included guaranteeing free transfer of capital, adequate compensation in the event of expropriation, the non-convertibility of both currencies, the lack of a border between the two countries, and non-implementation of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) agreements, AFP reported.
