“My administration intends to borrow a leaf from the Korean experience and the experience of other developed economies, to transform the Nigerian economy to one of the world’s largest 20 economies by the year 2020.
“It seems a very ambitious project, but I can assure you, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, that all hands are on deck to realize this vision.”
President Goodluk Jonathan made the above bold declaration before South Korean businessmen at the opening of an investment forum in Seoul on Monday.
The President invited Korean investors to explore the immense opportunities that exist in Nigeria’s oil and gas, agriculture, power and energy, construction and real estate development, among others.
Stressing that the possibilities for mutually-beneficial relations between Nigeria and South Korea were immense, President Jonathan said, “This Investment Forum, organized with the support of the Korean Chambers of Commerce and Industry, will ignite this process and give it substantive edge. We must sustain the effort and keep the momentum that has been kicked off today.”
