Don't believe the hype. Nigerian rulers at state or federal level, despite the soundbites, do not have the slightest interest in "attracting" foreign investment. They all make the right noises about "attracting" investors, but discerning Nigerians should judge them by what they do and not what they say.

There is no Nigeria ruler, current or previous, that hasn't made speeches about "attracting" investors to the country or their states. They say it because speechwriters always include it in speeches. And it sounds great. Who doesn't want investment? And in Nigeria, if it is foreign, it must be great. So there is nothing greater than foreign investment.

Well duh if they were so concerned with foreign investment wouldn't they make doing business easier. Stomp out the bureaucracy. Make mineral resources sector easier to invest in. They admitted they killed it 70-80s. The sector had steady growth from 1905 to 1980.

Their policies shot northern Nigeria in foot most. Op excellent article.
