Nigeria is the Guest Envoy with invited guests comprising critical stakeholders

According to Yinka Oyinlola, CEO of NLI, “whatever brings people closer will inherently bridge divides,
foster peace and better understanding and ultimately strengthen human
interaction, growth and productivity”. Speaking
further, Oyinlola remonstrated that the NLI DDS has the capacity to facilitate “new
vistas of opportunities for trade and commerce; foster better bilateral
cooperation and understanding; facilitate prospects for exchange, linkage
programmes and shared learning; provide a credible and sustainable forum for
information sharing between Nigerians and the international community; and create a new platform for cultivating
productive friendships for Nigerian stakeholders.”
