Convened by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s US-Africa Business Centre, the roundtable’s discussions focused on macroeconomic stabilisation, regulatory clarity, and opportunities to scale bankable projects across priority sectors of the Nigerian economy – reinforcing and deepening commercial ties between Nigeria and the United States.
Commenting on the discussions, Ms Kendra Gaither, President of the US-Africa Business Centre at the US Chamber of Commerce, noted that investors are increasingly focused on policy credibility and consistency.
“What investors are responding to today is clarity, clear rules, credible reforms, and a seriousness of purpose. Nigeria’s message is increasingly one of discipline and opportunity, and that matters in a global economy seeking actively for stability and predictability,” she said.
