'They have to bring people from Nigeria to Qatar and to take people from Qatar to Nigeria because there are many investment opportunities in Nigeria and there are many people interested to invest in Nigeria.NIDO can play this role but the Council is more qualified to perform this job.

The event aimed at encouraging Nigerians for two things: first the opportunity of doing business and making investment in Qatar, and the second thing was to think of investing back in Nigeria.
