TICAD 9: Nigeria Is Busy With Strategic Engagements, Not Trade Expos – Presidency Replies Critics
The Nigerian Presidency responded to critics who highlighted an empty booth labeled "NIGERIA" at the ongoing TICAD 9 conference, clarifying that the booth was misrepresented as the country is engaged in strategic activities, not trade expos. The Special Adviser on Information Strategy emphasized that the trending picture was due to ignorance, as Nigeria's delegation, led by President Bola Tinubu, is focused on achieving tangible outcomes through bilateral and multilateral engagements in key sectors like power and agriculture.
The delegation includes leading business figures attending the Trade Expo and participating in forums to boost investments. Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu is leading discussions on power projects funded by Japan, aiming to improve grid stability and enhance vocational training in the sector.
The statement concluded with details of negotiations with notable companies and institutions to drive Nigeria's economic growth.
