Nigeria's Minister of Trade & Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah, is to lead a trade delegation from Nigeria for a four-day trade and investment road show in London scheduled for July 11 to 15.

The trade and investment road show, organised by the UK Trade and Investment in collaboration with Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), would be attended by key Nigerian government officials.

The weeklong activity, which would open with an event tagged "Nigeria Open for Business", will highlight business opportunities in the energy, agriculture, transport, solid minerals, ICT and infrastructure sectors to UK investors.

Organisers of the event said the main objective would be to create a platform for the Nigerian government to profile business opportunities to a UK audience, build relationships with international businesses, link into global value chains and establish links to development finance with the view to developing stronger commercial ties between Nigeria and UK.

The Nigeria Open for Business event would feature key note speeches from the Nigerian Minister of Trade & Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah and the UK Trade Envoy to Nigeria, John Howell as well as presentations from key UK government agencies, namely the UK Export Finance, Infrastructure and Projects Authority and multipliers.
