The Nigeria Aviation Handling Company (nahco aviance) Plc and Egypt are to strengthen their business relationship to the mutual benefit of both parties.
The fresh move to grow the relationship was at the heart of the visit of the NAHCO’s chairman, Suleiman Yahyah, to the Egyptian Ambassador in Nigeria, Ashraf Salama during the week.
During the visit, Yahyah said there was an urgent need to upgrade the business ties between Nigerian investors and those from Egypt, while making reference to the current effort between Nigeria and Kenya.
He said NAHCO is desirous of facilitating a round table talks for investors from both countries, expressing optimism that such talks may lead to fresh bilateral agreements.
In his response, Salama, commended NAHCO for its efforts at reviving business relations between the two peoples.
He said such efforts would help the two countries grow their business relationship, adding that currently Egypt Air does a minimum of 16 flights per week to Nigeria.
Ambassador Salama added that he would also want the relationship to consider the agriculture and the health sectors.
Speaking at the meeting also, Nobert Bielderman , Managing Director of NAHCO, said the aviation company is a member of the British-Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and does a lot of exports based on that relationship and would like this sort of relationship to be extended to Egypt.
