As the Nigeria-European Union trade volume hits €45 billion, Nigerian and European business leaders, policymakers, and institutional stakeholders will converge on Abuja next week to identify and explore investment opportunities along specific value chains during the 9th European Union-Nigeria Business Forum.
The EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Samuela Isopi, said the business forum, aside from fostering engagement between businesses, policymakers, and stakeholders from Nigeria and the EU, will also facilitate trade, investment, and partnerships through networking, discussions, and policy shaping to promote economic cooperation between the EU and Nigeria and stimulate sustainable growth for both parties.
The envoy said for Nigeria, particular attention is paid to harnessing local talent, particularly among youth and women, as well as economic, social, and environmental resilience.
