Henley Media

In 2003, Henley Media Group launched a contract publishing division - Henley Media - and since then the Commonwealth Secretariat has used the division to produce a series of official titles encouraging co-operation between business and government in all areas of commercial, societal and environmental development in the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is an association of 53 independent states working together in the common interests of their citizens for development, democracy and peace. Second only in size to the UN, the Commonwealth is the largest association of sovereign states, representing almost 1.8 billion people - approximately 25% of the world's population.

In addition to the official publications, Henley Media also supports the Commonwealth and its members through online services, as well as securing official meeting sponsorship.

As a result of their work with the Commonwealth Secretariat, in 2009 Henley Media were approached and commissioned by the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) to produce the authoritative and definitive Investment Reference Report 2010 covering the investment climate and opportunities present within Nigeria for the year ahead.

Working in tandem with Image Affairs Nigeria, with whom Henley Media are proud to have enjoyed a lengthy association on their Commonwealth titles, this Report will be the ONLY officially sanctioned publication by the investment arm of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
