The World Integrated Economic Growth Initiative (WIEG Group) has formally deepened its footprint in Nigeria with the operational launch of WIEG Nigeria Mandate, a multi-sector economic development and investment facilitation platform designed to unlock inclusive growth, attract foreign capital, and connect Nigerian enterprises to global markets.
WIEG Nigeria Mandate is the Nigerian arm of the World Integrated Economic Growth Initiative (WIEG Group), a globally recognized organization headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Registered with Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission as WIEG Nigeria Mandate Limited (RC: 1797549), the entity is formally chartered to coordinate and oversee all WIEG programs, investments, and partnerships within the country.
Global Organization with Local Execution
Founded by H.R.H. Prof. Dr. Amb. Fathulah, a globally acknowledged leader in economic development, humanitarian diplomacy, and international cooperation, WIEG Group operates as an integrated economic growth platform spanning investment facilitation, global trade, community development, humanitarian action, and sustainable enterprise growth in emerging and frontier markets.
The global parent organization, WIEG Group Sdn. Bhd., was incorporated on 12 April 2024 under Malaysian law (Registration No. 202401014520 – 1560370-M).
