Rosie Glazebrook, CEO of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, recently visited Nigeria and brought a delegation to Abuja and Lagos.
In Abuja the delegation engaged with key government officials, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, who pledged support for creating an enabling environment for investors. Collaborative efforts were made with the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission, resulting in the Commonwealth Business and Nigeria Trade and Investment Roundtable. This event involved strategic partners, stakeholders from AfCFTA, and representatives from various Nigerian agencies. The delegation also visited Novare Holdings’ Gateway Mall and met with UK High Commissioner Dr Richard Montgomery to strengthen UK-Nigeria ties. Overall, the trip facilitated new partnerships and set the stage for further collaboration in 2024 and 2025.
Commenting on the visit, Glazebrook said: “We want to help boost trade and investment into Nigeria and equally support Nigerian businesses looking out to develop plans for more interactions with foreign partners.
“We will really like to look up ways where we can encourage the Nigerian government and the business community to take advantage of the Commonwealth market across the 56 countries and other partners in the Middle-East and North Africa.”
