The Nigerian
Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (NASME) says it will organise a bilateral trade and investment conference to promote investment, trade and export opportunities in non-oil sectors.
NASME Director of Public Relations, Mr Nerus Ekezie, made this known in an interview with journalists in Lagos.
According to him, the conference is being organised in collaboration with Nigerians in the Diaspora, the Nigerian High Commission in the United Kingdom(UK) and UK Trade and Industry (UKTI).
Ekezie said that the conference, which would take place in the UK between March 17 and 18, would facilitate stronger bilateral trade partnership between Nigeria and the UK.
“It will bring together Nigerian public and private sector organisations, businesses and potential UK investors.
“It will also foster stronger participation by the Diaspora in the economic development of Nigeria,’’ he said.
Ekezie said that UKTI Nigeria would run a business clinic during the event to counsel British entrepreneurs seeking to invest in Nigeria on the nation’s business terrain.
He said that the clinic would also facilitate introduction of NASME members to potential business partners in the UK.
Ekezie appealed to NASME members and other interested entrepreneurs to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the upcoming conference.
