The governments of Nigeria and Qatar have reiterated commitments to deepen trade between the two countries in manufacturing, construction, oil and gas, technology.
Ali Ghanem Al-Hajri, Ambassador to the State of Qatar to Nigeria, disclosed this on Wednesday at a meeting with government and businesses delegates in Lagos.
In November 2021, the Nigerian Government, in line with its domestic gas utilisation agenda explored investment opportunities with Qatar in the area of gas exploration, infrastructure and development.
Organised by Qatar Development Bank (QDB), the event tagged ‘Qatar-Nigeria Business Matchmaking Event’ aims to build on the two countries’ socio-economic ties, which have witnessed growth in the last decade.
Al-Hajri said the meeting would deepen bilateral relations reflected by the two leaders — Sheik Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and President Muhammadu Buhari — to build an economic bridge between the two markets.
