However, Lagos State tops the list with total investment inflow of $7.47 billion during the year. The Lagos’ figure represents 86.8% of the overall investments that flowed to Nigeria in 2020.

The Federal Capital Territory came second on the list, with a total investment inflow of $1.05 billion, while Abia state attracted the sum of $56.07 millions to occupy the third position.

Other states with substantial investments inflow to occupy the top six positions in 2020 include Ogun, Niger, and Sokoto states, with inflow of $12.9 million, $12.33 million, and $2.5 million, respectively. In the same vein, Kaduna attracted an inflow of $2.03 million, and Anambra got an investment of only $1.16 million to occupy the 8th position.

Most of the investments that came to Nigeria in 2020 were in production, banking, shares, trading, telecoms, agriculture, oil and gas, and services.
