89 Nigerian CSOs demand release of investment treaty review, warn of arbitration risks

The demand signals growing domestic pressure on treaty policy, though the government's response and the review's contents remain undisclosed. This matters because Nigeria's investment treaty stance affects foreign investor protections and fiscal risk in a major African economy.
