INTRODUCTION

• Despite best efforts at marketing Nigerian projects, there are quite a
number of commercially viable projects in Nigeria which have not
attracted financing from private sector investors including PE funds.

• This apathy from private sector investors is largely due to the lack of
willingness to take risks and the manner in which the project risks are
somewhat identified and managed.

• The need for private sector investors in Nigerian projects cannot be
over-emphasized as these investors bring value to projects in which
they invest.

• It goes without saying that Investors must understand the risks and
mitigants involved in investing in Nigerian projects.
