The Director-General of NCCIMA, Mr Adamu Salihu,  made the call on Friday in an interview with newsmen in Minna.
“Niger state government has created conducive environment for various businesses to thrive in the state.
“Government also established industrial park to ensure industrialisation of the state,’’ he said.
Salihu urged prospective investors to register with the chamber, to enable them to access business opportunities existing in the state.
He said there were financial benefits available for business ventures operating in the state.
The director-general said that business ventures that registered with the chamber would have the preference of accessing N2 billion, Small Medium Enterprises funds with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
He said that the chamber met recently with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to assess customs tariff across the globe.
