Trade Minister says Nigeria's economy still Investors' haven as growth slows to 3.96 pct in Q1 2015



Nigeria's Minster of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Olusegun Aganga, says the country’s economy remains the favourite for foreign and local investors.

The Minister's remarks follows the latest reports released by the National Bureau of statistics indicating that Nigeria's economy grew by 3.96 percent in the first quarter of 2015, showing a sharp slowdown from the same period last year due to the fall in oil prices. 

Aganga, while speaking with newsmen in Abuja, said the country will remain investors' haven following the friendly economic policies of the President Goodluck Jonathan's led administration.

The Minister added that whatever the nation is currently going through, will not deter the interest of foreign direct investment into country.
