Chairman of Trade Nigeria, in an announcement about the event said, strategic
partnership is key to global development at the moment. the forthcoming event will be strategic in the economic recovery of Nigeria as well as Africa.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has
shown us few things. We have learnt a few lessons that the most important thing
is humanity and every sustainable plan that will make us live well in a good
environment. I feel we’ve also come to understand during the lockdown that
we’re all patches of islands, but together, we are the world”
“No nation has everything, so
we all need to get other things in a way that will be mutually beneficial to
all of us”, he added.
He revealed that in Asia as
well as the global economy, Korea has always been a key player where Africa can
learn a lot from in terms of industrialization, human capital development and
strategic planning.
The Chairman said that Trade
Nigeria has strategically looked into what Nigeria and Korea can mutually offer
each other and there is a whole lot in various sectors.
“There is a reason we expanded
the programme to multi-sectorial not just for the benefits of Nigerians but for
African at large. We understand that the economy of one’s neighbours can affect
his own, so we believe that if we look beyond Nigeria to develop the entire
African content, we will be getting it right”, he concluded.
