NIPC has felicitated with the government and people of India on the celebration of their 73rd Republic Day. Ag. Executive Secretary/CEO Mr Emeka Offor delivered the goodwill message at an event hosted by the High Commission of India to Nigeria in Abuja.
"Nigeria and India share a number of similarities, and NIPC considers India to be of strategic importance to Nigeria's economic development. At NIPC, we went through a diligent process to identify countries of strategic importance to Nigeria, and India was one of the 20 countries so identified for investment promotion," said Mr Offor.
Mr Offor described India as an ICT powerhouse and noted that technology is one of the priority sectors for deepening the Nigeria–India partnership. He confirmed that NIPC intends to hold more sector-specific events during the year to present investment opportunities to prospective Indian investors.
