FRENCH
GOVERNMENT IMPRESSED BY NIGERIA'S GROWTH UNDER PRESIDENT JONATHAN, PLEDGES €240
BILLION FOR INVESTMENT.... SAYS IF YOU’RE NOT IN NIGERIA, YOU'RE NOT IN AFRICA
French
Minister of Finance and Economy, Mr. Michael Sapin says, under President
Jonathan, Nigeria has recorded the highest growth in the last few years, which
is very impressive, adding, if you're not in Nigeria, you're not in Africa,
reports Theherald.
He said,
Nigeria would be a major beneficiary of a 240 billion Euro fund being earmarked
by France for investment in Africa as the European nation renews its investment
drive on the continent.
With a huge
market and investment potentials, he noted that “no serious investor can ignore
Nigeria, given the large population, highly skilled human capital and massive
untapped natural resources.
Sapin said,
perception about Africa is changing rapidly, especially after a few years of
steady impressive economic growth, even when most regions of the world were
experiencing slow growth or even recession.
French
investors have to know this, that France needs Nigeria.
The French
President, Francis Hollande who unfolded France’s renewed investment plans in
Africa at the ‘French-African Forum for a Shared Growth’ in Paris, France at
the weekend said "Nigeria" is our future.
It has
recorded the highest growth in the last few years, and it is a continent with
great demographic evolution, Hollande noted.
Buhari's APC
media wing will never report this...Lolz
