AICIS, 2025 | Host Country Profile
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
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.
Exclusive Event
In Sync with UN Climate Initiatives
The Nigeria Infrastructure, Climate Change, and Investment Summit is deeply aligned with the United Nations Climate Objectives. By mobilizing private sector participation, the summit emphasizes the crucial role of businesses in achieving climate goals. This approach resonates with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which highlights the importance of private investments in sustainable development. The UN’s Global Compact encourages businesses to adopt sustainable and socially responsible policies, and the summit acts as a catalyst for this engagement, fostering a robust network of private investors committed to driving Nigeria's green economic agenda forward. Furthermore, the summit’s focus on collaboration with government and international entities mirrors the UN Climate Change Conference (COP) emphasis on international cooperation and multilateralism. By fostering a collaborative framework that includes the Presidential Envoy on Climate Change, government agencies, and international partners, the summit supports the UN’s vision of global solidarity and coordinated efforts to mitigate climate impacts. This collaborative approach ensures that the initiatives undertaken are comprehensive and effective in achieving the desired environmental and economic outcomes. Resource mobilization is another critical aspect of the summit that aligns with the UN Climate Objectives. The United Nations’ Green Climate Fund (GCF) aims to mobilize funding for climate adaptation and mitigation projects. The summit’s objective to identify and deploy financial and technical resources directly contributes to this goal, focusing on innovative funding mechanisms such as green bonds, climate finance, and public-private partnerships. This strategy ensures that financial flows are consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development. Policy reform is essential for creating an enabling environment for sustainable investments, and the summit’s emphasis on advocating and supporting policy reforms aligns with the UN’s approach to climate action. The UN encourages member states to enhance national policies to support the transition to a low-carbon economy, and the summit’s focus on policy reforms ensures that climate action is integrated into Nigeria's economic planning and execution. Public awareness and engagement are vital for the success of climate initiatives. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 13 (Climate Action), emphasize the need for public education on climate issues. By enhancing public awareness and engagement, the summit aligns with the UN’s objective to ensure that climate action is a collective effort, involving not just governments and businesses, but also the general public. This approach fosters a culture of environmental responsibility and active participation in green initiatives. Lastly, the summit’s initiative to showcase successful models and best practices in climate change mitigation and green infrastructure development supports the UN’s objective of disseminating effective strategies and innovative solutions. By presenting successful case studies, the summit inspires and informs participants about effective strategies and solutions, encouraging the adoption of proven approaches in new projects and initiatives. This alignment with the UN’s efforts to share knowledge and best practices accelerates global climate action, contributing to sustainable and impactful climate solutions worldwide. In essence, the Nigeria Infrastructure, Climate Change, and Investment Summit strategically aligns with the UN Climate Objectives, supporting global efforts to combat climate change through collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development.
