Botswana opens various sectors for foreign investors
ABUJA, NIGERIA — Top government officials of Botswana expressed their commitment to work with investors willing to invest in the country’s diverse set of industries.
During the 2022 CMD Food Tour of Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia in Abuja, Botswana’s acting high commissioner to Nigeria, Ambassador Gomotsang Kealeboga-Nkanga said that Botswana offers investment opportunities in mining, resource beneficiation, energy, and manufacturing.
In addition, the country’s agribusiness and service industries — which include International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), business services, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Information and communication technologies (ICT), and Tourism — are also ripe for new investment opportunities.
In her speech, Kealeboga-Nkanga stated that their main objective is “to ensure that Botswana remains a premier tourist destination of choice and an investment venue and continues to attract international tourism events.”
The acting high commissioner to Nigeria also used the opportunity to invite tourists to Botswana, adding that the country offers an opportunity to experience the world’s largest inland Delta – the Okavango – the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the astoundingly prolific wildlife of the Chobe National Park, and many more unimaginable areas of interest that would attract any tourist’s eye.
“Tourism is the second largest contributor to Botswana’s GDP. In this regard, Botswana has dedicated 38 percent of its total land area to national parks, reserves, and wildlife management areas,” Kealeboga-Nkanga highlighted.
