The Nigeria Representative on the 3rd General Assembly of the African Union, Economic, Social, and Cultural Council (AU ECOSOCC) Mr. Oba Olasunkanmi John has praised the efforts of His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, on the proposed Nigeria Eastern Europe Business Summit Expo 2020 (NEEBSE).
Mr. Oba, in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, said the four-day expo will galvanize mutually benefiting trade and investment ties between Nigeria and the Balkan States.
According to him, Nigeria must see this as an opportunity to develop the agriculture sector and position it for export of it’s produce to the countries involved.
It is heartwarming that his Imperial Majesty has shown such passion not only reviving our culture but passionate about the country’s economy as well.
With the impact of COVID 19 on the economy, all hands must be on deck to ensure that Nigeria’s economy is sustained. The efforts of Ooni must not only be emulated by all leaders but he must be encouraged by all means possible.
“It is certain that this business summit is apt and it will open up trade and investment opportunities for Nigerian businessmen and their counterparts from the Balkan States of Croatia; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Slovenia; Serbia; Montenegro; Kosovo; Macedonia; Romania; Bulgaria; Albania; Greece; and, Turkey.
“With the effects of COVID 19 on World Economy, trades among countries will be one of the major ways of resuscitating the economy and Africa is a major focus, hence Nigeria must take advantage of this as investors from these countries will be looking at the opportunities presented by the Nigerian population and are looking forward to closing deals with Nigerian businessmen in the areas of productive partnerships; strategic business collaborations; and, endorsement deals.
“His Imperial Majesty has taken a bold step and the government must take advantage of this summit to win more investors to develop its agriculture and solid mineral sectors,” he said.
Oba said according to the report he gathered, there will be a funding workshop and access to investment funding for viable on-going business projects for which One Billion Dollars ($1billion) Open Line of Credit has been made available.
This should not be limited to Nigeria; other Africa countries must be encouraged too to participate

The interactive sessions allowed senior officials to introduce themselves to the new DG, who emphasized the importance of strategic, standardized and scientific approach to the Commission’s operations, including the conduct of Sports Federation Elections.
In his remarks, Olopade stressed the need for reforms that would attract top administrators to vie for leadership roles within Nigeria’s Sports Federations.

The DG also highlighted the Commission’s mandate to elevate the Corporate image of various Sports in Nigeria.
He reemphasized the NSC’s commitment to reviving key initiatives such as the National Sports Industry Policy and the 10-Year Football Master Plan.
