The next few years promises to be exciting for businesses in Nigeria, says Osinbajo

Nigeria's vice president Yemi Osinbajo may be passing through flames of trials following what critics consider as the demeaning of the office he occupies by some powers that be in the presidency, he is however, far from being idle as he continues to play whatever roles left for him by the president who is currently in London for a 15 day private visit.



Yemi Osinbajo while speaking at the Nigeria-Canada Investment Summit 2019 with the theme: Reaching Greater Heights, said that Nigeria remains a major trading partner with Canada in Africa. The Vice President also said that Nigeria was one of the 10 reforming economy in the world, adding that the summit focuses on the six major sectors of the country’s economy.

He said, “The six sectors listed in the summit namely: Education, Healthcare, Mining, Power, Infrastructure and Agriculture, are the crucial sectors and are very important for Nigerian’s economy.


“We encourage all our partners to maximise all the platforms provided and prospects available for businesses to prosper. Our trade and investment sector in Nigeria has remained a major trading partner to Canada in Africa.

“Canada import includes minerals, fuel, cocoa, rubber and many more while it exports vehicles equipment, manufacturing equipment and software.




“We have also increased double taxation agreement in 1999; we expect our foreign investment and promotion to be concluded by both countries as early as possible in 2020.

“However, the next few years promises to be exciting for businesses in Nigeria,’’ Osinbajo said.


He urged all visitors and friends of Nigeria to take time to visit the city of Abuja, test “Our Suya and most importantly, our Nigerian Jollof rice”.
