From Katsina to the corridors of power, Aisha Rimi’s achievements as MD/CEO at the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) have been nothing short of remarkable. A legal mind by training, she has certainly but seamlessly woven her expertise into the fabric of Nigeria’s investment landscape, spearheading change with finesse and strategy.

Rimi’s career started in the 90s, carving out a space for herself at prestigious firms like Ajumogobia & Okeke and Chadbourne & Parke. But it was the foundation of Africa Law Practice back in 2017 that truly marked her as a legal luminary, tackling complex investment regulations across the continent.

This legal background, rich in international commercial law, became the cornerstone of her subsequent leadership role at NIPC. Even today, in the boardroom, Rimi’s approach is sharp and transformative. Her ability to bridge the gap between regulatory frameworks and investment opportunities has made her an invaluable asset to Nigeria’s investment climate.

But it’s not all business with Rimi. Being a person who has always believed in balancing corporate success with social responsibility, through her firm, she runs a pro bono program offering legal aid to domestic abuse victims, embodying her belief that a thriving society requires both legal and human justice. She integrates this sense of compassion into every decision she makes. As the NIPC continues to grow under her guidance, Rimi is proving that true power lies not in chasing recognition but in shaping the future. Her exploits, matched only by her unwavering commitment, will likely be the blueprint for success in Nigerian investment for years to come.
