Aregbesola opens Nigerians in Diaspora investment summit

By on August 22, 2012

Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, will today (Wednesday) declare open the 2012 edition of the Trade and Investment Mission organised by the state government and the Nigeria in Diaspora Organisation (Europe).

The summit, which will hold at the state capital, Osogbo, according to a statement on Tuesday, will be an avenue for attracting new business opportunities to the state.

It will feature an interactive business-to-business session involving business match-making with trade and investment presentations.

The summit, which is being supported by the House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora, the statement added, would be concluded with deals signing between new partners.

Other groups partnering with the state government and NIDOE, according to the statement, are Nigeria in Diaspora Organisations in Singapore and Ivory Coast; Nigerian Professionals and Business Network, Canada; Osun Indigenes in the United Kingdom; Central Association of Nigerians in the UK; and the House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Affairs.

The organiser’s choice of Osun, the statement explained, was not unconnected with the peace and resurgent investment activities that had recently elevated the state as the gateway of investment in the country.

The chief aim of the investment mission, according to the General Secretary of the organisation, Mr. Ben Osawe, is to introduce business people in the Diaspora and their foreign investment partners to the most important government officials and business people in the state.
