The Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) has officially launched InvestoPedia, a digital investment gateway designed to attract global capital and showcase viable opportunities across the country’s 36 states.

Developed in partnership with the African Export-Import Bank (Afrexim Bank) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the platform is expected to serve as a one-stop marketplace where investors can seamlessly access credible data, investment profiles, and opportunities in key sectors across Nigeria.

Speaking at the launch, NGF Director-General, Abdulateef Shittu, described the unveiling as more than just a ceremonial event, but “a statement of readiness.” He emphasized that the platform reflects months of rigorous collaboration between state agencies, technical partners, and the NGF Secretariat.

The NGF noted that InvestoPedia would not only boost investor confidence but also provide states with an opportunity to highlight their unique strengths, ranging from agriculture and energy to infrastructure, technology, and creative industries.

The partnership with Afrexim Bank and UNDP further signals Nigeria’s ambition to position itself as a leading destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa, while promoting inclusive and sustainable development.

With InvestoPedia, the NGF is optimistic that the narrative around doing business in Nigeria will shift towards clarity, confidence, and opportunity.
