The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has called on investors to explore business opportunities in Abuja to boost growth and reduce poverty.
At the 2nd Abuja Business and Investment Expo (ABIEXPO 2025), Wike—represented by Dr. Mariya Mahmoud said the expo aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda focused on infrastructure, jobs, and inclusive growth.
Tony Elumelu, Chairman of Heirs Holdings, urged Africans to invest locally, stressing that the continent’s future “must be built by Africans.” He said fighting poverty requires strong public-private collaboration.
Elumelu revealed that his foundation has empowered 24,000 young Africans, including 641 from the FCT, with training and $5,000 grants.
AICL CEO, Ambassador Maureen Tamuno, said the expo aims to attract investors and promote sustainable development.
