Sustainable investment key to Nigeria–EU economic future, says De Luca

Nigeria and the European Union are set to deepen their economic ties with the upcoming 10th Nigeria-EU Business Forum. Scheduled for June 25, 2026, in Lagos, the event will serve as a critical platform for fostering greater investment and expanding business opportunities between the two entities.

The forum is designed to convene key stakeholders, including government officials, investors, financiers, and private sector leaders from both Nigeria and Europe. Their discussions will focus on exploring avenues for enhanced economic cooperation and identifying pathways to attract more capital into the Nigerian market.

According to European Commissioner for International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen, and Nigerian Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Doris Uzoka-Anite, sustainable investment is paramount to the future economic landscape. Their joint statement emphasizes that such investment is key to unlocking Nigeria's potential and strengthening the long-term economic relationship between Nigeria and the EU.
