​​​​​​According to officials at the meeting, the engagement forms part of the planning process for the First Eko Global Export Readiness, Investment and Finance Expo, a programme designed to strengthen market access for Nigerian businesses and enhance export opportunities.

The initiative is expected to provide a platform for entrepreneurs, investors, exporters and financial institutions to connect, share knowledge and explore opportunities within the global trade ecosystem.
