Nigeria’s major capital challenge is not necessarily a lack of available funds but the limited number of bankable investment opportunities capable of attracting and sustaining capital.
Stakeholders in the financial and investment sectors have highlighted the need to develop more viable projects with clear returns, strong management structures and reliable risk frameworks.
They noted that investors are often willing to commit funds when opportunities are well-structured, transparent and capable of delivering sustainable returns.
The situation underscores the importance of creating an enabling business environment, improving infrastructure and strengthening policies that can support investment across key sectors of the economy.
Experts also emphasised the need for businesses and project developers to improve their capacity to prepare investment-ready proposals that meet the requirements of local and international investors.
With more bankable projects and stronger investor confidence, Nigeria could attract greater capital to sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, agriculture, energy and technology.
