The Nigerian- American Chamber of Commerce (NACC) is seeking stronger relationships and empowerment from the commercial section of the United States Embassy through its consulate in Lagos, Nigeria.
National president of NACC, Dame Adebola Williams, who made this request during a courtesy visit to the U.S. Embassy in Lagos, said the chamber would not do anything without the full support of the U.S. Consulate.
“We are looking at how best to work with the Commercial Section to encourage them to succeed within the remaining four years in the life of African Growth and Opportunity Act, which was signed by the U.S Congress on May 18th, 2000 and ending in 2025. She added, “We wish to be invited to all trade-related and capacity building initiatives that the U.S. Commercial Section is involved with –both physical or virtual. That is the best way our members can benefit from the opportunities available under this partnership”.It would be recalled that the U.S. trade chief plans to convene a meeting with African ministers before the end of the year to strengthen partnerships and discuss a law that provides duty-free access to the U.S.
She added the U.S. wants to collaborate on labour and environment standards, anti-corruption, and good regulatory practices and helping small businesses succeed and find new markets for their products.
