The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), said it is partnering with the Nigerian business community to leverage on its upcoming investment information series to own businesses in the U.S.
The Director-General of ACCI, Ms Victoria Akai, made the appeal on Wednesday in a news conference in Abuja, to kickstart the information series on investment opportunities in the U.S., tagged; “EB-5 Passport Series’’.
The event, scheduled for Oct. 20, at the ACCI Trade Convention Centre, Abuja, is organsied by Invest In the USA (IIUSA), in partnership with the ACCI.
“The more investors Nigeria has in the US, the more opportunities we have to contribute to shaping policies that affect Nigeria and Africans in the U.S.
“According to World Bank statistics, Nigeria in 2019 had a total export of 53.6 billion dollars and total imports of 47 billion dollars, leading to a positive trade balance of about two billion dollars.
“Eventually, in a year we should be able to repatriate up to one billion or two billion dollars to Nigeria,’’ she said.
