The Nigeria-USA Chamber of Commerce
(NUSACC) has concluded plans to raise $1 billion, about N198.95b Diaspora funds
for development in Nigeria, reports ITRealms.
The fund meant to close infrastructure
gap in Nigeria, will be mobilized at the 5th International Summit of the
Chamber between August 27 and 29, 2015, at Mayflower Renaissance Hotel in
Washington DC, the United States.
According
to Primus Igboaka, secretary, NUSACC, the business-to-business match-making
event will provide opportunities for personal interactions between United
States business leaders and Nigerian entrepreneurs, while also creating a
platform for them to showcase their products and services, ITRealms gathered.
“They
are avenues for market meetings, presentations and match-making between
businesses and key industry players,” Igboaka said, adding that players in
agriculture, construction and real estate, energy and power, information and
communication technology (ICT) and franchising, among others, are expected to
be there.
Nigerian
Ambassador to USA, Adebowale Adefuye, ITRealms reports, will be the
key note speaker, while former minister of finance and coordinating minister
for the economy; Dr. (Mrs) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, will be joined by the consul-
general of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in US, Habib Baba Habu, as speakers.
The
Nigeria-USA Chamber of Commerce, incorporated in 2009 in the State of Ohio as a
non-profit organisation, functions as a unique business and legislative
advocacy organization comprising members and professionals with business
management, finance and accounting backgrounds.
