The organisation made its position known during a strategic engagement in Alicante, Spain, between its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Adefaratoluwa Osindero Olutimehin, and a Nigerian Federal Permanent Secretary, Dr Emeka Vitalis Obi, mni.
The engagement took place during the 2026 Clevenard Open Project and Clevenard Global Awards, where Obi delivered a keynote address titled, “Innovation, Policy Coherence and Institutional Excellence: Foundations for Africa’s Economic Renaissance.”
He also received a Clevenard Global Honorary Award in recognition of his leadership and contributions to public administration, institutional reform and national development.
Clevenard said its proposed collaboration would leverage its international media platforms, business networks, conferences, publications and strategic partnerships to connect Nigeria with global audiences, investors, entrepreneurs, institutions and development partners.
The organisation said stronger international engagement and strategic communication could help showcase Nigeria’s economic potential, development initiatives, investment opportunities, cultural assets and emerging areas of innovation.
Speaking on the proposed partnership, Olutimehin said Clevenard was prepared to work with the Federal Government and its institutions to project the vision, achievements and investment opportunities associated with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Through our international media platforms and networks across different continents, we can help communicate Nigeria’s development priorities, strengthen international confidence and connect credible investors, innovators, entrepreneurs and development partners with opportunities in Nigeria,” he said.
He also stated that Nigeria had enormous potential and that one of the key opportunities was to ensure that its potential was effectively communicated to the international community.
“Clevenard is committed to creating platforms that connect people, ideas, investment and opportunity across borders,” he pointed out.
According to the organisation, possible areas of collaboration include international media and communications on Nigeria’s policies, reforms, achievements and development initiatives, as well as the promotion of investment opportunities in agriculture, energy, infrastructure, tourism, technology, solid minerals, manufacturing and the creative economy.
It also proposed international investment, trade, tourism and cultural-diplomacy forums, alongside documentaries, interviews and special media features highlighting Nigerian institutions, entrepreneurs, innovators, businesses, communities and development projects.
Clevenard further identified youth and women-led enterprises, digital inclusion, innovation, entrepreneurship and skills development as areas where international cooperation could create opportunities.
It expressed its willingness to commence formal consultations with relevant Nigerian government institutions and stakeholders toward developing a framework for possible collaboration.
The organisation said any formal partnership would be subject to the necessary institutional processes, consultations and approvals of the relevant parties.
Obi welcomed the expression of interest, describing it as a demonstration of confidence in Nigeria’s future and the country’s development potential.
He said the Renewed Hope Agenda required the participation of government, the private sector, media, civil society, Nigerians in the diaspora and credible international partners.
According to him, Clevenard’s international reach and capacity to connect media, business, culture, tourism and investment could provide a platform for projecting Nigeria’s opportunities and supporting the administration’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable national development.
Obi, however, stressed that any prospective collaboration should be based on clearly defined objectives, measurable outcomes and institutional accountability, while remaining aligned with the policies and priorities of the Federal Government.
