In her first address to the NIPC team, the new CEO emphasised the pivotal role that NIPC plays as the gateway to Nigeria’s investment landscape. She stated, “Without a functional, operational, and efficient NIPC, investments will really just amount to nothing. We’re not just here to promote; we’re here to facilitate and to carry it through from start to end.”

She also expressed her unwavering dedication to making NIPC a driving force in Nigeria’s economic development. “If Nigeria succeeds, we succeed,” she declared. “I’m too old to Japa; I cannot go anywhere. We have to make it work.”

While concluding her remarks, she said, “I am not here to reinvent the wheel. The wheel is there. We just have to make it work. We have to oil it. We have to grease it. We have to put everything we can to make this machine work. Because like I said earlier, if we succeed, Nigeria succeeds, and we will all be part of this success story.”

NIPC’s new Chief has over 30 years of experience in international investments, including her work as a visiting attorney in the United States. She has witnessed firsthand how investments unfold across the African continent and how governments interact with investors.
