Akwa Ibom State is an attractive investment destination in the Gulf of Guinea for investors due to its growing economy, strategic location, and investment opportunities in key sectors.
The international trade agreements of the Nigerian government and the investment incentives of the Akwa Ibom State Government make the ease of doing business favorable for foreign direct investment in Akwa Ibom State.
With the implementation of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) by the United States of America and the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) by the African Union, and similar agreements from other countries, Akwa Ibom’s strategic location on the Gulf of Guinea makes it an economically viable gateway to other countries in West Africa, Europe, America, and Asia.
These economic indicators place the Office of Diaspora Matters in diplomatic and investment engagement for homeland development with venture capitalists, multi-national companies, and government corporations in the development of strategic trade facilitation infrastructure and businesses for a vibrant new frontier market in the Gulf of Guinea.
