(LITF) which started on November 3^rd , Mr Jean-Jacques Lennon, the EU
Senior Manager said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN), that the European Union
(EU) will enhance Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) in Nigeria
through forging of linkages and partnerships with business innovators.
Mr Jean said that some EU initiatives seek to assist SME’s to access
international markets and enhance their growth potential. According to
him, EU sees great prospects in Nigeria’s economy and wants to seize the
business opportunities provided on the platform of the Lagos
International Trade Fair (LITF) to upscale business activities for SMEs.
Officially for the first time in 31 years of the fair, the EU got a
pavilion and brought exhibitors to the fair. Lennon said that Nigeria
was listed as one of the 11 countries that EU, through its SME
Instrument Overseas Trade Fairs Programme, would showcase innovations
and commercialize its technology. He added that the fair is recognized
as an authentic platform where investors and innovators from EU could
combine and work together towards boosting economic growth.
Additionally, Lennon said that some of the technologies exhibited by
nine EU innovators would improve activities in agriculture, waste
management, weather forecast, renewable energy, food safety and genetic
services. He urged the Federal Government to continue with the policies
and reforms that would create an enabling environment to attract
investments into the country.
The LITF is an annual event organized by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce
and Industry (LCCI).
