_*.........Amb Elijah Onyegba shares as he announces details of the upcoming Nigeria-Burundi Business Summit in Bujumbura, the Business capital of Burundi*_


September 26th-29th, 2022 has been slated for the maiden edition of Nigeria - Burundi Business Summit billed to take place in Bujumbura.

In a statement released by the Embassy of Nigeria in Bujumbura, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Nigeria to the Republic of Burundi, His Excellency Amb. Elijah Onyegba PhD stated that the Embassy is working with
State Governments, Federal Agencies, relevant Ministries and Parastatals like Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) and the Chambers of Commerce in different cities in Nigeria to ensure a robust attendance.


According to him *"The Summit will also offer Nigeria investors the opportunity to take advantage of Business opportunities in Burundi and vice-versa. The AfCFTA has created free movement of goods across Africa and as such, Nigerian manufacturers will find in Burundi, a big market since they can comfortably operate and service the economies of the Great Lakes region comprising of 10 countries and cocreate with the East African Community (EAC) which has 7 partner independent states. These are massive investment opportunities across several sectors within the two blocs available for Nigerian investors to consider.*

_He called on interested investors who wish to take advantage of the vast business and economic opportunities in the East African nation to approach the Nigerian Embassy for registration and participation. It is expected that the Nigeria - Burundi Business Summit will produce tangible results in the areas of job creation and local content development. These will in turn generate more business and economic activities between the two economies so as to revitalize the true spirit of Pan Africanism!_
