Ahead of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, USA, scores of Nigeria’s professionals in the diaspora have perfected the strategies aimed at wooing investors to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s developmental agenda for the country.
Under the visionary Co-Chairmanship of Prof. Tai Balofin, President of Nigerian Progressive Professionals in the Diaspora, and Amb. Franklin Abiola Ogunyemi, Trade and Investment representative of the Nigerian Consulate in New York, the organizing committee has been diligently crafting a unique and cohesive collaborative framework.
In an unprecedented display of collaboration, five leading investment summit organizers have joined forces to orchestrate a groundbreaking Economic, Trade, and Investment Summit scheduled to take place in September 2023, concurrent with the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York USA.
This landmark event aims to rally global investments in support of the ambitious agenda set forth by President Tinubu’s administration.
The committee, comprising distinguished members such as Barrister Dotun Israel of Diplomatic Vista, Mr. Babatunde MacAlabi of BYK Ventures Limited, and Prof. Lilian Ore -Ajayi of Silicon Valley Investment Nigeria, shares a unified goal: to harness their collective expertise and resources to create a singular, impactful event that transcends boundaries.
Addressing the collaborative initiative, Amb. Lot Egopija, Nigerian Consul General, emphasized the significance of this united endeavour, stating, “It has been determined that we can’t have different summits at different times for the same purpose. The President can’t be everywhere due to protocol and logistics. We need a formidable, united team to organize one extraordinary event.”
As discussions focus on shaping the most effective collaboration proposal and agreement, the organizing committee is actively defining each organizer’s expected contribution to this monumental endeavour. While specifics are currently being refined, the guiding principle is a shared commitment to the summit’s overarching objectives.
The anticipated outcome of this historic collaboration is nothing short of transformative. By consolidating efforts, the organizers seek to pool diverse resources, expertise, and global networks to attract a wider spectrum of investors, drive economic growth, and stimulate sustainable development aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision.
The committee envisions a strategic roadmap to success, centering on a holistic approach to the event’s organization. By integrating the strengths of each organizer and leveraging their respective networks, the summit aims to showcase the potential of Nigeria’s economic landscape and foster partnerships that pave the way for impactful investment initiatives.
As the planning committee forges ahead with this ambitious undertaking, the world awaits the unveiling of a milestone summit that promises to redefine economic collaboration, empower global investors, and propel President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration toward its transformative goals.
