Support grows for The Nation’s economic forum

The United States – Africa Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture through its President, Mrs. Alexandra Hembarsky and the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Adekunle K. Alliu, was one of the early organizations that pledged to be part of the event and assist to make the event achieve its goals on Nigeria’s economy particularly in the area of agriculture.
A message from the international organisation reads: “Our interest will be international development cooperation that will develop our agricultural sector into that of advanced economies, like USA and Europe, where billions of Euros and dollars are generated as revenue yearly”.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Mathematical Centre, Abuja, and many researchers from institutions also are pledging to be part of the event which is slated for April 7th and 8th at Lagos Airport Hotel Limited, Ikeja, Lagos.
The Bank Of Industry, which is a major partner of the Forum, is particularly interested in using the event as a platform to reach out more on its SMEs and micro-SMEs programmes to boost our economy.
According to Mr. Sam Omatseye, Chairman, Editorial Board of The Nation, a distinct feature of the programme is general exhibitions by state governments, federal ministries and the general public which will showcase products based on comparative advantages and competencies in order to boost inter and intra-regional trades. The exhibitions will go on simultaneously with the mind-lubricating talkshops on the economy.
The programme, which is to be declared open with a keynote address by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, governors and Chief Executives of Industries are also to grace the event.
