Factual Pursuit of Truth for Progress
The Federal Government has described Nigeria as the best place to invest and succeed on earth.
The Nigerian ambassador to Egypt, Nura Rimi, made the claim at the maiden edition of the Nigeria-Egypt Trade Conference and Exhibition (NETCE) in Cairo.
He decried the low level of trade between the two countries.
Rimi said it would serve as a central location for made-in-Nigeria products to be shipped, displayed and distributed to the rest of the world.
The Nigerian envoy said that the countries should have better trade engagements with the abundance of natural resources and a youthful, enterprising, and innovative population.
The envoy called on participants at the conference to explore more trading opportunities and businesses to enhance economic ties, increase the flow of investments and generate more wealth for the peoples of both countries.
The ambassador added that Nigeria and Egypt enjoy warm and cordial relations with strong cooperation in education, defence and security matters.
In his words, “Any investor looking for a place to invest, build, thrive, innovate and succeed has no better place on earth to go than Nigeria.
“It is heart-warming to note that under a public-private partnership arrangement, Nigeria recently opened the First Export Trade House in Egypt.
“The two countries also collaborate in regional and global affairs in the quest to promote international peace and security,’’ he said.
