Senate President David Mark and eight state governors are due in London this weekend at the 2nd Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) business and investment forum and exhibition taking place at the Cavendish Conference Centre.

And in just less than a fortnight, former Head of State and Chairman of the newly-formed opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, will give the keynote speech at the Ben Television-organised British African Diaspora Conference taking place at the House of Commons in Westminster on March 5.

Buhari, who as the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) presidential candidate at the 2011 presidential elections lost to President Goodluck Jonathan, will be giving his keynote speech on the Conference Theme – Nigeria: Stable Democracy and Economic Development.

However, this weekend’s conference where Mark will give his keynote address is all about attracting more investment capital to Nigeria. Agriculture Minister, Akinwunmi Adesina and his counterpart at the Ministry of Interior, Abba Moro and Samuel Ortom – Minister of State, Trade and Investment – will be prospecting for the flow of more foreign investments into the country.

State governors lined up for the two-day event, which begins on Friday morning include Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa). Others include the duo of Gabriel Suswam (Benue) and his counterpart from Zamfara, Abdul’Aziz Yari. All five governors and those of Plateau, Niger and Bauchi States will talk about the investment opportunities in their respective states.
