Mr Gbenga Omotayo, Executive Director, USAfrica BusinessExpo speaking at 2022 Business Expo in New YorkThe News Agency of Nigeria reports that some of the Nigerian-made products showcased were honey with mixed spices, Zobo powder groundnut, Tamba finger millet and Acha Fonia, among others.
“Some Nigerian MSMEs are selling their products in the U.S. with our help, such as shea butter, African black soap, handmade beauty & cosmetic products, African print, spices, etc,’’ he said. Omotayo said that there were many investment opportunities for Africans to tap into the resources in the United States and vice versa.
“The expo, therefore, has been created as an effective platform to help increase the exports of developing countries by aiding African businesses, exporters, and government agencies in maximising initiatives. “Many connections made at these events had led to long-term relationships and strategic partnerships; this is because, we did not want to limit this impact only to the annual business expo.
Omotayo added that the expo was not just for Africans but also for African Americans, including the Caribbean.
