As part of efforts to strengthen engagement with government, stakeholders and investors in the South-South region, NIPC's South-South team paid a working visit to Akwa Ibom and Cross River states.
The team, comprising Messrs Nnamdi Offor and Uche Nnamani, met in Akwa Ibom with the Commissioner for Commerce and Investment, Barr.

In Cross River State, the team met with the Director-General of the Cross River State Investment Promotion Agency (CRSIPA), who briefed them on the industrialisation achievements of the Governor, including three key factories to be commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari: an instant noodles factory, a chicken slaughter facility, and a poultry feed mill. The team also met with the Commissioner for Environment to discuss investment opportunities in the environmental, waste, and sanitation sector.
Rounding out the visit, the NIPC team met with Chord Power Engineering Services Ltd and A.P. Moller Capital — a consortium with an interest in a power project supporting a 367-hectare real estate development. NIPC was established to encourage, promote and coordinate investments in Nigeria.
