There’s a quiet contradiction in Nigeria’s investment story — agriculture, a major sector, receives attention in policy conversations but not in capital inflows. Data shows that agriculture’s share of capital imports climbed steadily to a peak of 5.46% in 2021, only to collapse sharply to 0.72% by 2025. That drop is not gradual; it’s a steep reversal, suggesting that whatever momentum the sector had in attracting foreign capital has significantly weakened. It’s like a sector that briefly caught investor attention, only to slip back out of focus just as quickly.
