What is the Book of States
The Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission, NIPC, is seeking to project individual Nigerian states and the investment prospects in them with the Book of States. The document is a thorough evaluation of all states in the country and will help redirect ventures misplacement in Nigeria.
The Book of States is available for download and will offer a free navigation system to all the unique investment opportunities, landmarks and trademarks in the country. It launches formally in Q1 2021 and production was supported by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.
