Write a report on Nigerian tax incentives and their objectives for a Mexican investor planning to explore the Nigerian market.
Question
The quest by various governments in Nigeria since the 1990s to use tax incentives to change the narrative of being a mono-product foreign exchange earner has attracted interests from both local and foreign investors to the hitherto forgotten non-oil sector.
