The Nigeria-Turkey Investment Summit early slated for  5 – 11 December 2022 has been rescheduled. This also provides the opportunity for late entry admission for interested participants.

Nigeria is a prime real estate for investors mainly because of its population, abundant natural resources and low-cost labour pool. With a population of about 217 million people, and over half of this population is under 25 years of age. Nigeria represents a relatively untapped market and far from its full potential.

For investors and companies alike, the Nigerian market is there for the taking to position, grow and scale.
