H.E. Dr. Bolere Elizabeth Ketebu:

Just this December, I went to Nigeria following on from the Invest Nigeria event we had at the wings of the Africa Ireland Economic Forum. I went with a team of nine Irish investors and we visited Osun and Ogun states. We were to go to Bayelsa and two other states but the declaration of the President and other national activities made it virtually impossible for us to stay for longer than the week that we spent there.

There is a lot more business interaction and activity between Ireland and Nigeria. In fact, we are planning in this regard. However, but for the elections, we would have gone to Nigeria with another team.

Another team is in line for March. I am happy and impressed with the development. I am working in tandem and co-operating and collaborating well with the Irish ambassador in Nigeria, Mr. Sean Hoy. We are making progress together and are happy.
