The Nigerian Export Processing Zone Authority has declared its readiness in ensuring unprecedented growth and general awareness both locally and internationally to attract investors to Nigeria.
This was made known by the NEPZA Managing Director, Professor Adesoji Adesugba, in a statement issued to celebrate the 30th year anniversary of the authority with a weeklong summit, exhibition and fanfare.
According to the statement, the anniversary continued with a summit where investment experts, moguls and principal officers of major free trade zones across the globe extended their goodwill messages including the General Manager, China -Africa Investment FZC, Dr Hanson Huang.
The summit also hosted the African Economic Zones Organisation’s 7th annual summit.
