The summit will serve as a platform for transformative dialogue, actionable partnerships, and innovative investment strategies aimed at fostering climate resilience, sustainable infrastructure development, and green economic growth across Africa. AICIS reaffirms its commitment to advancing the continent's leadership in addressing climate challenges while leveraging green investment opportunities to build a sustainable future for all.

President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Chairman, ECOWAS
Chairman, Nigeria Climate Change Council
Nigeria, the host of the Africa Infrastructure, Climate Change, and Investment Summit (AICIS) 2025, stands as the African giant poised to drive transformational change across the continent. Officially known as the Federal Republic of Nigeria, this powerhouse of Africa is situated in West Africa, bordered by the Gulf of Guinea to the south, Cameroon and Chad to the east, Niger to the north, and Benin to the west. With a landmass of 923,769 square kilometers, Nigeria boasts an incredibly diverse landscape, ranging from tropical rainforests in the south to arid plains in the north.
Nigeria’s history dates back millennia, with the Nok Civilization, one of Africa’s oldest, emerging around 1000 BCE. Over centuries, numerous powerful kingdoms, including the Oyo, Benin, and Sokoto Caliphates, rose to prominence. Nigeria became a focal point of European trade from the 15th century, culminating in British colonization by the late 19th century. Gaining independence on October 1, 1960, Nigeria has since become the most populous African nation, with over 213 million citizens, representing more than 250 ethnic groups, speaking over 500 languages, and practicing various religions. The nation’s largest religious affiliations include Christianity (49.3%) and Islam (48.8%), while traditional beliefs remain among a small percentage of the population.
Today, Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy, driven by diverse sectors such as oil and gas, telecommunications, agriculture, manufacturing, and entertainment. The nation’s economic strength is complemented by a dynamic and youthful population, fueling its rapid industrialization and technological advancements.
Under the leadership of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria is entering a new era of reforms aimed at strengthening climate action, infrastructure development, and the green economy. Notably, President Tinubu also serves as the current Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), positioning him at the helm of regional leadership. In this dual capacity, he is driving initiatives that promote peace, stability, and economic cooperation across West Africa. His leadership not only impacts Nigeria but also places the country at the forefront of regional and continental climate and infrastructure policies.
The "Renew-Hope Agenda," spearheaded by President Tinubu, aligns with Nigeria’s bold ambitions for AICIS 2025. The summit, themed “To Achieve the UN Climate Change Action in Nigeria’s Green Investment Policy Vision of the Government Renew-Hope Agenda,” highlights the nation’s commitment to aligning its development trajectory with global climate goals. This agenda aims to attract both international and local investors, promoting Nigeria’s Green Investment Policy with a focus on sustainability in energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and technology sectors. As a leader in ECOWAS, Nigeria’s achievements will inspire and influence the broader region’s approach to green investment and sustainability.
With abundant natural resources such as solar, hydro, and wind energy, Nigeria is well-positioned to become a leader in Africa’s green economy. The Nigerian government, in collaboration with global partners, has set ambitious targets to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly regarding climate action and infrastructure development. The 2025 Summit will serve as a platform for investors, policymakers, and innovators to explore opportunities in Nigeria’s renewable energy market, climate-smart agriculture, waste-to-energy programs, and eco-friendly infrastructure projects.
Nigeria’s strategic geographical location, youthful population, burgeoning tech ecosystem, and expanding infrastructure make it an ideal investment destination for sustainable ventures. The country’s fast-growing financial sector, combined with robust economic policies, is designed to facilitate long-term investments that generate both environmental and economic returns. Investors are invited to capitalize on the momentum of Nigeria’s green revolution and play a pivotal role in reshaping the future of Africa.
As Nigeria continues to lead ECOWAS and bolster its role in regional and global climate change efforts, the AICIS 2025 Summit promises to be a landmark event. It will showcase Nigeria’s position as a global leader in climate change mitigation, infrastructure modernization, and sustainable investments. The summit calls upon stakeholders worldwide to collaborate in building a resilient, prosperous, and green future for Africa.
Welcome to Nigeria, where Africa’s Green Renaissance begins! The AICIS 2025 Summit is set to be a turning point for sustainable development across the continent, with Nigeria leading the charge. Join us in this journey toward a greener, more prosperous Africa.
This synergy with the UN, AU, ECOWAS, and Nigeria’s national initiatives fosters knowledge exchange and the adoption of best practices, driving global climate action and advancing sustainable, impactful solutions. Ultimately, the Nigeria Infrastructure, Climate Change, and Investment Summit is strategically aligned with these organizations' climate objectives and actionable strategies, reinforcing global efforts to combat climate change through collaboration, innovation, and sustainable economic development.
Here, we bring together a distinguished group of global leaders, visionaries, and experts who are dedicated to Harnessing Global Effort on Infrastructure and Climate Change Investment in Africa.
These eminent speakers, hailing from diverse fields such as international policy, sustainable development, innovative technology, and economic growth, will share their unparalleled insights and experiences. They are united by a common goal: to foster resilient infrastructure, drive sustainable investment, and combat the challenges posed by climate change in Africa.
Through their thought-provoking discussions and groundbreaking ideas, our speakers will inspire collaborative action and innovative solutions. Their expertise will illuminate the path forward, ensuring that Africa can harness its full potential while building a sustainable and prosperous future.
Stay tuned to discover more about the exceptional individuals who will be leading the charge at this transformative summit. Their commitment and vision will be key in shaping impactful strategies for Africa's infrastructure and climate resilience.
