PHCCIMA Wants French Oil Companies To Partner Nigeria
The President of Port
Harcourt Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (PHCCIMA), Engr Emeka Unachukwu, has tasked the oil multinational companies in France to see Nigeria as a business hub.
This was made known at Hotel Presidential during PHCCIMA’s Hosting of Twenty French Oil Companies in Rivers State, recently.
Unachukwu said, the gathering was aimed at establishing a bilateral relationship between Nigeria and France in business and other economic transactions.
He however, noted that the level of poverty has been responsible for the big statistics of unemployed Nigerians, as “the infrastructure that will stimulate the eradication of poverty was yet to be put in place to create avenue for middle class.”
PHCCIMA said that Nigeria has been chosen as a better business hub based on its size of her population and economic disposition, adding that there is the need for the building of Industrial Structure as well as growing the manufacturing sector.
He also urged the people to embrace this change that has come through the effort of PHCCIMA in collaboration with The Oil Multinational Companies.
The leader of the French delegation to Nigeria, Agnes Hagyak, the Manager of UbiFrance Oil and Gas Project said, the aim of the visit was to meet their international business counterparts, stating that Nigeria is the only African country to partner with, especially in oil business.
