Fayolle: Nigeria is a Strategic Priority for EIB in Africa

Nigeria continues to play a central role in the European Investment Bank’s engagement across Sub-Saharan Africa. During his first official visit to the country, EIB Vice-President, Ambroise Fayolle, announced new financing initiatives to support small and medium-sized enterprises, healthcare, sustainable transport and green finance. In this interview with THISDAY, Fayolle discusses the EIB’s growing partnership with Nigeria, the role of development finance in mobilising private investment, and how the Bank, working as part of the European Union’s Global Gateway strategy and Team Europe approach, is supporting the country’s long-term development priorities. He also highlights the importance of the 10th Nigeria–EU Business Forum as a platform for strengthening trade and investment ties and invites investors, policymakers and business leaders to participate in shaping the next chapter of the Nigeria–EU economic partnership.
