WASHINGTON – Ahead of his travel to Lagos, Nigeria, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally
Adeyemo hosted a virtual roundtable with representatives from U.S. businesses operating in
Nigeria to hear their views on the challenges and opportunities for American companies in the
market. They discussed ways to increase incentives for direct investment as well as the
factors necessary to create a good business climate, such as tackling corruption, addressing
security challenges, and investing in infrastructure. The Deputy Secretary expressed that
Nigeria is a key strategic partner and that expanding American trade and investment into
