Key stakeholders in Nigeria’s financial and business sectors have called for deeper engagement with the Nigerian diaspora to harness emerging investment opportunities, particularly in light of evolving tax policies.
The call was made during the Fidelity Diaspora Summit 2026 organised by Fidelity Bank Plc. The event, themed “Navigating the New Tax Policy and Unlocking Investment Opportunities in Nigeria,” brought together financial experts, policymakers and entrepreneurs to examine how tax reforms could influence diaspora investments in the country.
Among participants were Partner and Leader, Tax and Regulatory Services at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Chijioke Uwaegbute; Group Managing Director of Financial Derivatives Company Limited, Bismarck Rewane; Executive Director and Chief Operations and Information Officer of Fidelity Bank Plc, Stanley Amuchie; technology entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Ike Eze; and business news anchor at Arise TV, Rotus Oddiri.
Discussions at the summit focused on the implications of Nigeria’s evolving tax framework for investors abroad and explored strategies for unlocking capital flows from Nigerians in the diaspora into key sectors of the economy.
Participants emphasised the importance of regulatory clarity, investor confidence and financial innovation in positioning Nigeria as an attractive destination for diaspora investments.
They also highlighted the role of financial institutions in facilitating cross-border financial solutions that enable Nigerians abroad to participate more actively in the country’s economic development.
