This year’s session featured discussions across eight critical sectors: political consultations, consular and migration affairs, banking and finance, defence and security, manufacturing, the social sector, mines and energy, and trade and investments.

These sectors were addressed through working groups tasked with identifying challenges and opportunities for collaboration.

A highlight of the meeting was the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and agreements by officials from both nations.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
