Abuja is safe for agricultural investment, Wike tells Polish Ambassador

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike on Tuesday wooed investors from Poland to consider investment in the agricultural opportunities within Abuja.

The Minister made the open invitation when he received the Polish Ambassador to Nigeria, Her Excellency, Joanna Tarnawska, who paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Abuja.

Wike noted that he was extending the invitation to the Polish investors, following credible information that revealed that the country has a comparative advantage in agriculture.

He also stressed the need to maintain the good bilateral relationships that the two countries have been enjoying.

Wike said, “Nigeria has had a good relationship with Poland, and we have also had a lot of bilateral relations.

“Here in Abuja, we are making sure that foreigners are free to carry on their businesses. You can see how safe Abuja is; it is a city that everyone would like to visit.

“We will like to collaborate with Poland, particularly in agriculture, and we will be happy to see investors who will come here and set up large farms that can employ our youth.”

Earlier in her remarks, Tarnawska collaborated on the fact that her country has enjoyed good relationships with Nigeria and also expressed the desire to see them continue.

She also informed the Minister that there are areas where her country wishes to discuss opportunities for further bilateral relations with Nigeria.
