In recent years, Private Equity (PE) has emerged as a powerful force driving growth across emerging markets, with Nigeria standing out as a key destination. As Nigeria’s economy diversifies, sectors such as energy, technology, and consumer goods are attracting heightened interest from PE investors, encouraged by government incentives and evolving regulatory frameworks.

On 2nd September 2024, the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), which plays a major role in attracting and coordinating domestic and foreign investments in Nigeria, introduced a revised fee schedule, effective from 1st October 2024, covering business registration and Pioneer Status Incentives (PSI). Key updates include significant increases in business registration fees, annual renewal costs, and new charges for certificate replacements. Notably, penalties for inactivity on PSI applications have been introduced to discourage delays, enhancing the efficiency of the application process. These changes are expected to boost government revenue, streamline NIPC operations, and further position Nigeria as an attractive investment destination. Despite higher fees, the PSI program continues to provide substantial benefits such as tax holidays, which remain essential for supporting business expansion and innovation in priority industries. In this regulatory update, our Managing Partner, Christian Aniukwu, and Associates, Ibitola Akanbi, and Oghenemega Igbru, discuss the implications of the revised fee structure, its impact on businesses, and Nigeria’s economic development.
