The Federal Government has asked French investors to come up with more business initiatives in Nigeria.
It said Nigeria is the new investment in Africa with many potentials.
It also pleaded with France to help African countries on how to increase their drawing rights from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, made these pleas at the opening of the Nigeria International Partnership Forum in Paris France.
The session was on fostering the France-Nigeria relationship beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
Onyeama said: “We have put some strategies in place to get us out of this challenging time.
” We appeal to France to look at Nigeria with confidence to come and invest in our country.
“Nigeria is going to be the new frontier of investment in Africa. In fact, Nigeria to Africa is the last frontier.
“We plead with France and others to look at how to help African countries to increase their drawing rights from the IMF and the World Bank.”
