The High Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in partnership with the Canadian Council on Africa and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, is pleased to announce the Canada-Nigeria Investment Conference (CNIC) 2013 with the theme: Canada-Nigeria Synergy Vision 20:2020. The highly anticipated Conference is designed in line with the vision 20:2020 Economic Transformation Agenda of the government of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR. It will be held in Canada’s business capital, Toronto, and is expected to bring together more than 400 participants from public and private sectors, including government officials of the two countries.

Nigeria is Canada’s largest economic partner in sub-Saharan Africa and both countries enjoy an ongoing bilateral trade relationship worth more than $3billion in 2011. Nigeria presents new opportunities for Canadian businesses to invest in a wide range of key sectors such as telecommunication, transportation, infrastructure, manufacturing, aeronautics, engineering, oil and Gas, Education, ICT, Health, Agriculture, Solid Minerals, Security and Tourism.

Canadian private sector presence in Nigeria is substantial and multifaceted. To mention a few, Manitoba Hydro International (MHI) won a competitive bid in 2011 to manage the Transmission Company of Nigeria, which currently acts as Market and System Operator, and Transmission Service Provider. Also the Canadian consulting firm CPCS has worked on the 27km Lagos “Blue Line” project, the first of seven proposed light rail lines around the megacity. Currently, CPCS is helping Nigeria to improve its electricity shortage by attracting a large number of Foreign Direct Investment in the new Independent Power Plants (IPPs).

Vice President, of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. Namadi Sambo, GCON, will declare the

investment conference open.

NIGERIA’S LEADERSHIP ROLES IN AFRICAN AND GLOBAL AFFAIRS

In 2005, Nigeria become a major troop contributor to the African Union’s Mission in Sudan, and the subsequent United Nations and African union Mission in Darfur. Nigeria is presently the second largest troop contributing African nation to UN peacekeeping operations and the fifth largest globally, with around 5,400 personnel deployed in Darfur and Liberia alone. Canada strengthened its peace and security cooperation with Nigeria by providing material and training support to Nigeria’s troops in Sudan until 2009.

Canada has helped to develop Nigeria’s peacekeeping capabilities through a number of capacity-building and training programmes. Canada has also supported the professionalization of Nigeria’s military though the Military Training and Cooperation Program (MTCP).

CANADA-NIGERIA ECONOMIC RELATIONSTrade relations between Canada and Nigeria have increased exponentially from a modest 700 million dollars in 2007 to 2.7 billion at the end of 2011. This is the largest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although Canada’s exports to Nigeria have increased by more than 200% since 2004, they have been fairly steady since 2009 and were $227.3 million in 2011. Bilateral trade between Canada and Nigeria has been facilitated by the return to Nigeria of Export Development Canada (EDC), which in March 2011 announced a $7 million investment fund through which it helps develop opportunities in Nigeria for Canadian companies. The fund is focused on sectors which mirror Canada’s strongest export sectors, notably oil and gas, telecommunication, mining and financial services.

The Canadian business presence in Nigeria is substantial and multi-faceted. Canadian interests cover a full range of key sectors, including oil and gas, telecommunications, manufacturing, aeronautics, energy, and engineering and education services. New areas with high potential for growth are mining technology as well as transportation. Recent and ongoing efforts by the Nigerian Government to reform the banking sector in Nigeria will provide a more conductive foreign investment environment for potential Canadian firms and businessmen to invest in Nigeria.

Both countries are determined to sign the Foreign Investment Protection Agreement (FIPA) to ensure

investors from both countries of the protection of their investments.

In the area of development assistance, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is focusing its bilateral program, which totalled almost $26 million fiscal 2011-2012, to support key government health institutions to deliver high-impact and cost-effective maternal and child health interventions at the community level. This assistance is aimed at reducing the maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Nigeria, which is high at 630 deaths per 100, 000 live births in 2010. The neonatal, infant and under-five mortality rates are similarly high. In 2010, over 850,000 Nigerian children under five years old died, which is about 10% of the global child mortality figure.

The growing number of Nigerians who work or study in Canada is a positive factor in the cultural and people-to-people exchange between the two countries. This has accounted for the high number of the members of the Nigerian Diaspora in Canada, which is estimated at more than 200,000. In 2011, Canada approved 9,563 temporary resident permits, 200 work permits and 1,507 study permits for Nigerians.
