Liberia and Nigeria to Host Trade Forum in Lagos 2026

Liberia and Nigeria are preparing to deepen their economic ties with the upcoming Liberia-Nigeria Trade and Investment Forum, which will take place on July 15, 2026, in Lagos. The forum's theme is "Build Bridges, Share Prosperity," focusing on strengthening the trade and investment partnership between the two nations.

The event is facilitated by the Embassy of Liberia in Nigeria and the Honorary Consul General of Liberia in Lagos. It aims to bring together government officials, investors, development partners, and private sector leaders to explore new opportunities and strategies for collaboration.

This initiative is seen as a pivotal moment for African nations to enhance intra-African trade and investment, particularly in light of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) initiative. The statement from the forum underscores the commitment of both countries to advance economic cooperation by leveraging their complementary strengths, with Nigeria possessing significant capital mobilization and entrepreneurship capabilities, while Liberia continues to implement reforms to accelerate economic growth and improve infrastructure.
