Linklegal to bridge investment gap in Nigeria

Lack of investors’ confidence in Nigeria is the major bane of investment growth in the country, said the Chief Executive Officer of Linklegal Consulting, Professor Ademola Abass.

Abass said the narrative must be changed in the interest of the country at large.

“Security of investment is needed to address identified investment gaps in Nigeria. The company is poised to offer professional and advisory services that would guide potential business investors in the country,” he said.

Abass, a former Special Adviser on Overseas Affairs and Investment to the immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, stated that investors should know who to talk to in government when it comes to business and that considering the wide scope of business and investment in the country, it is imperative for experienced private organizations to also get involved in rendering such services.

In his own remark, the Consul-General of Germany in Lagos, Stefan Trumann, described the platform as magnificent and futuristic which would pilot the investment faculty of the country by bridging the gap between investors and the community.

Also speaking at the event, a Nigerian professor of political economy and management expert, Pat Utomi, described the services being rendered by Linklegal as such ones desperately needed in the country, considering the enormous possibilities of investment in Nigeria.

A retired Managing Director/Chief Executive of UACN Property Development Company Plc, Hakeem Ogunniran, in a goodwill message expressed the belief that Linklegal, with the track record of its CEO, will allay all fears associated with investment, including environmental security and legal protection on every investment in the country.

Linklegal Consulting, an investment support services provider, was unveiled on Monday, July 1, at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos. The event was graced by top officials in the private and public sectors, including ambassadors and investors.
