The Federal Government has met with a delegation from the Republic of Poland to expand trade, investment, and strategic cooperation across critical sectors of the Nigerian economy.
A statement from the Ministry of Finance said the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, on Friday received a high-level Polish delegation led by the Deputy Foreign Minister for Africa, Wojciech Zajączkowski, in his office in Abuja.
According to the ministry, the talks focused on broadening economic cooperation and strengthening investment ties, as both countries explored new areas of partnership in manufacturing, digital infrastructure, renewable energy, mining, agriculture, and defence technology.
Edun welcomed Poland’s growing interest in Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country is now better positioned for increased foreign investment due to ongoing reforms and improving economic indicators. “Nigeria today offers stronger fundamentals, rising investor confidence, and a clear reform direction,” he said. “We are open to deeper collaboration with partners like Poland who see the opportunities in our economy.”
He urged the delegation to take advantage of the expanding investment space, noting that Nigeria’s private sector and policy environment provide room for mutually beneficial partnerships.
Deputy Foreign Minister Zajączkowski described Nigeria as Poland’s “top strategic partner in Africa,” commending the government’s economic reform efforts. He expressed his country’s readiness to scale up cooperation in digital governance, expand private-sector participation, and boost bilateral trade. “We see great potential in Nigeria’s reforms and in the dynamism of its people and institutions,” he said. “Poland is committed to expanding its partnership with Nigeria across key sectors.”
The meeting, according to the statement, signals the determination of both countries to accelerate bilateral engagement, unlock new areas of cooperation, and strengthen investment flows capable of supporting joint economic growth.
