Strategic framework — The approved framework introduces a single-window clearance for offshore investors, tax holidays of up to 10 years, and dispute resolution mechanisms aligned with international standards. The initiative is part of Nigeria’s broader effort to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and diversify the economy.
Early commitments from sovereign wealth funds and multilateral development banks signal strong confidence. The framework also includes provisions for local content and technology transfer to maximise domestic benefits.
