Nigeria appears to be the main recipient of foreign direct investment in Africa, with almost 30% of FDI going to the West African country, according to Kashifu Inuwa, Nigeria\u2019s Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).<\/p>\n

The Nigerian tech ecosystem managed to attract some $4.4 billion of FDI in 2015, 2019 and 2020 combined, with information and communications technologies (ICT) making up around 18.5% of the African country’s GDP, according to Inuwa’s statement made at the Leaders Without Borders Annual Business Summit and International Honors 2023.<\/p>\n

According to UNCTAD\u2019s World Investment Report 2022, African countries gained a record $83 billion in FDI in 2021.<\/p>\n

At the same time, flows of investments to the African nations account only for 5.2% of global foreign direct investment.<\/p>\n

The most attractive regions for investors appeared to be Southern Africa, East Africa and West Africa.<\/p>\n
