*VP promotes forthcoming Special Economic Zones in Davos

The Buhari administration working with the Private Sector is determined to boost the Nigerian manufacturing sector and will be engaging with international partners and friendly nations to realize that goal, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof. Osinbajo was speaking earlier today at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos, while meeting with a delegation of the Japan External Trade Organization, JETRO, led by Mr. Hiroyuki Ishige, the organization’s Chairman and CEO.

“Nigeria and Japan should be doing more, far more based on the existing long relationship and trade between both countries,” the Vice President stated while noting that this would be to the mutual benefits of both countries.

He said manufacturing is one sector that Nigeria and Japan can work together and deepen their economic relations.

According to Prof. Osinbajo “Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa will be getting involved in the manufacturing global chain and it would be private sector led, government would be backing it up.”

He cited the example of the Special Economic Zones, SEZ, which are being set up in the country, adding that the zones would have all the needed infrastructure.

“We will provide world-class infrastructure and this is a good opportunity for investors around the world to tap into, an opportunity to do some game-changing projects, to do something big,” Osinbajo said.

Earlier in his presentation at the meeting with the Vice President on the sidelines of the WEF, JETRO’S Chairman Ishige noted the rise of Japanese firms in Africa, the country’s readiness to promoting business in Nigeria and supporting Nigeria’s export promotion.
