Welcome2Africa to host Nigeria Seaports Investment Forum

In an effort to improve Nigeria’s global trading ecosystem, Welcome2Africa International in partnership with Zenith Carex International Limited will host the Nigeria Seaports Investment Forum (NSIF2022) on September 28 and 29, 2022.

With the theme, ‘Repositioning Nigeria’s Seaports for Investment and Trade Attractiveness,’ the forum would address major bottlenecks like congestion, technological advancement, infrastructural deficiency, dredging, port equipment, security, logistics and training that represent opportunities for investors at the seaports.

The maiden edition of the forum is set to drive investment interest into all the seaports in Nigeria including the Apapa Port, Tin Can Island Port, Calabar Port, the Delta Warri Port, Lekki Port, Rivers Port, and the Onne Port.

Partners of NSIF2022 include the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), Nigerian Export Promotions Commission (NEPC), Ministry of Trade and Investment, AFEX, and Oneport365.
