Jonathan promises to make Nigeria attractive to foreign investor

PRESIDENT GoodluckJonathan has saidthat his administration would continue to implement measures, polices and programmes that will make Nigeria an even more attractive destination for foreign investors.He made the pledge on Thursday in Abuja while speaking at an audience with a delegation of Polish investors led by a former President of Poland, Mr Aleksander Kwasniewski.Jonathan said that with the ongoing liberalisation and deregulation of the various sectors of the economy, Nigeria was full of new opportunities for discerning and knowledgeable investors.'Previously, government monopolised some sectors of the economy. Now all those sectors are open to private investors. We believe that this is the best way forward for our country. Our policy is to welcome all credible investors and we will continue to do all that we can to create the right conditions for them to thrive,' the president said.Responding to an invitation to visit Poland conveyed to him by Kwasniewski on behalf of the current Polish government, Jonathan said that he looked forward to meeting President Bronislaw Komorowski soon to follow up on agreements reached on the expansion of bilateral cooperation between Nigeria and Poland when former President Olusegun Obasanjo led a Federal Government delegation to Warsaw in 2001.Mr Jan Kulczyk, the chairman of Kulczyk investments, who was also on the polish delegation, informed Jonathan that his company, which has interests in power, oil and gas, mineral resources and infrastructure, would welcome further opportunities to expand its investments in Nigeria.
