Some foreign exhibitors at the ongoing Lagos International Trade fair have commended the Federal Government for its economic policies.
The exhibitors, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday, said that the policies were encouraging improved trade relations between Nigeria and foreign countries.
Mr Bahri Ekrem, International Sales Manager, Decrin Group, a Turkish company, told NAN that taxes and duties on imported goods were pocket-friendly.
“Some countries frustrate businessmen with high tariffs, thereby making profit-making a difficult thing.
“I have been importing clothes into Nigeria for about four years.
“Nigeria is a business friendly country where entrepreneurs can break-even within a short period,” he said
Miss Paula Mensah, Trade Promotions Executive, Ferrox Ltd., Ghana, told NAN that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria had the capacity to grow into large industries.
“There are so many SME operators at this fair
“This suggests that they are enjoying government’s support that they are making them to thrive.
“With that kind of support, they can transform the Nigerian economy in a few years time,” she said.
Mr Ahmed Al-Majeed, an Egyptian dealer in interior decorations, expressed optimism that he could invest in Nigeria in future.
He said that he was being encouraged by Nigerian businessmen at the ongoing trade fair. (NAN)
