NSACC to hold breakfast forum in Lagos

Nigeria-South Africa Chamber of Commerce (NSACC) will hold its January 2019 breakfast forum scheduled for January 31, at the Orchid Hall, Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos, by 7.30am.

Executive secretary/CEO of Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), Yewande Sadiku, will be the guest speaker for this month’s edition.

Sadiku, an experienced investment banker and investment promoter for Nigeria, will share insights on the topical issue: “The True Situation of Investment Promotion in Nigeria Today and Prospects for the Future” given the dynamics of investment promotion in our ever evolving society.

The executive secretary, Iyke Ejimofor, says the event is primarily for captain of industries, business owners and top level executives as well as other interested parties.

Ejimofor says the chairman of the Chamber, Foluso Phillips and other executive directors are expected to attend the forum, noting that as in previous times, this edition will be educative and also insightful.

Ejimofor, on behalf of the Chamber, encourages everyone who wants to grow and strengthen his or her business or gain insights on how to thrive globally to make effort to attend. He expresses that the meeting is a “great door opener and participants will benefit in many ways, including: finding personal contacts for future follow up and initiate new vendor relationships, and so on.”

Since the inauguration of the Nigeria-South Africa Chamber of Commerce in 2000, the bilateral relation between both countries has grown tremendously. The Chamber has been a veritable economic tool responsible for the increment in trade between Nigeria and South Africa.

Through the Chamber activities, many South African firms have indicated interest in joint partnership with Nigerian firms and other forms of economic co-operations with several business establishments in Nigeria.
Membership comprises both Nigerian and South African owned firms and a combination of those with ownership by both Nigerian and South African investors.

The Chamber’s membership covers almost the whole spectrum of business activities in Nigeria. Such as
banking/finance services, manufacturing, insurance, advertising, accounting, auditing and management consulting.
Others include airline services, broadcasting, engineering, law, freight, hospitality, health/pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, property, telecommunication, stock brokering, and information technology. Membership is spread all over the country with specific presence in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Kano, Ibadan and Onitsha.
