The minister expressed gratitude to Mr. Adebayo Ogunlesi, Chairperson of Global Infrastructure Partners, for his exemplary leadership in global innovation and investment, noting his consistent support for Nigeria’s economic advancement as a positive signal to the global investment community.
“Nigeria is well-positioned to become a leading destination for investment, particularly in the areas of digital trade and technology innovation,” Oduwole concluded.
