What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe programme aims to accelerate UK-Nigeria mutual economic growth by unlocking opportunities for private sector development. It will drive Nigeria’s economic transformation through investment and trade to generate jobs through two pathways: (i) facilitating immediate direct private investment and trade in high-potential non-oil sectors capitalising on existing opportunities, and (ii) strengthening the enabling environment by improving Nigeria’s business environment and investment conditions to support greater more sustainable business growth. These efforts will support Nigeria’s structural change and deeper integration into regional and global value chains, laying the foundation for diversified, sustainable and transformative growth, with benefits that are broad-based.
