India becomes second largest employers in Nigeria

High Commissioner of India to Nigeria G. Balasubramanian expects that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the country will bolster India’s ties with Nigeria and the African continent, while also promoting cooperation on global issues.

While speaking to ANI on Saturday, Balasubramanian said that PM Modi’s visit to Nigeria is a significant milestone, marking his first trip to West Africa. As the most populous country and one of the largest economies in the continent, Nigeria is a crucial partner for India.

Notably, over 200 Indian companies have invested over US$ 27 billion in Nigeria, making them the second-largest employers after the Nigerian Government.

Balasubramanian said that India and Nigeria have been working closely in the manufacturing sector, and have expanded by signing agreements on several more sectors, like customs cooperation, on cultural exchange programme, on survey cooperation etc. (ANI)
