Taking a Close Look at Nigeria
Nigeria is home to over 200 million people and represents a huge consumer market with a bright future. Speaking at the Chamber’s webinar on Nigeria on 30 August, Consul General of Nigeria Adeyemi Adebayo Emmanuel said the country was blessed with vast natural resources and welcomed investment in a wide range of industries such as real estate, infrastructure, agriculture, textiles, and communications.
Cui Yi, Representative of Enyimba Economic City’s China office, said the EEC will be the hub for business innovation in Nigeria. In particular, he highlighted the EEC’s product showroom and duty-free warehousing services, and added that a number of Chinese suppliers in FMCG, construction materials, textile, plastics and F&B had already set foot on the leading e-commerce platforms in Africa, Jumia and Konga.
Also speaking at the event, Andy Wang from First Bank of Nigeria, said Nigeria’s ideal geographic location and membership in AfCFTA and ECOWAS meant it was an ideal springboard to the whole continent and its enormous consumer market.
