The Guardian Nigeria: CWEIC Tasks Nigerian Businesses To Leverage Commonwealth Advantage

Following the success of the Commonwealth Trade and Investment Summit (CTIS) at the end of November 2023 in Central London, we are pleased to have our work featured in The Guardian Nigeria.

Nigeria, a pivotal market within the Commonwealth, played a significant role in CTIS, and we welcomed several prominent speakers from the country:

Ngozi Egenuka, writing in The Guarding commented: “The Minister of Trade, Industry and Investment, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, spoke to the delegates during the summit on reducing barriers to trade while the Executive Secretary and CEO of Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission, Mrs. Aisha Rimi, spoke on the importance of human capital, and addressing the ongoing challenge of outwards migration from Africa to the rest of the world.

“Jim Ovia CFR, who has been a long-standing CWEIC’s strategic partner, spoke on the subject of investment finance for emerging markets and highlighted the difficulties that emerging markets face in securing dependable and enduring financial resources.”

Peter Obi, in his keynote address titled, “Harnessing the African Opportunity” session, emphasised the abundant opportunities present in the African continent while CEO of Seplat Energy Plc, Mr. Roger Brown, advocated for a holistic approach that would balance the imperative to foster development and ensure energy security while prioritising environmental concerns in a session on “Financing the Energy Transition.”
