Yesterday, the acting president of Nigeria professor Yemi Osibanjo met with the Foreign Minister of Indonesia, Mrs Retno L. P. Marsudi at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
In his speech, he said;
Nigeria has a prerequisite market for profitable returns on any investment and business. Indomie is one of the products by an Indonesian company in the Nigerian market and there is much room to increase the volume of trade between both countries.
I encouraged Indonesia to take advantage of the on-going economic diversification process, especially in the agricultural sector. Nigeria can export agro-allied products to Indonesia.
Our 48 hour visa regime recently signed in the Executive Order for Ease of Doing Business is part of our process of creating a friendly business environment.
The Foreign Minister of Indonesia informed me that she came to the country with two hundred business people and had visited Lagos. She stated that her country is ready to kick-start a business relationship with Nigeria.
Mrs. Marsudi also solicited the establishment of Palm Oil Producing Council between Nigeria and Indonesia, stressing that countries producing palm oil should work together in order to benefit maximally the market.
