NGX Group Chaiman, Umaru Kwairanga, Extols China-Africa Trade Expo 2025

By Umaru Kwairanga

It is an honour and a privilege to be here for the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo 2025.

What I have seen in the few days that we have been in your lovely country has reinforced my belief that China has realised its potential and now leads the world.

You have the human resources, the financial resources, the infrastructure, and the right strategy to be the economic powerhouse of the 21st century.

However, to sustain that position, you need Africa which has the human and natural resources that position it as another potential future power.

That is why a forum such as this is important. Events like this offer opportunities to learn from your success as a nation. But beyond that, it allows us to discuss areas of mutual cooperation that will hasten Africa’s development and sustain Chinese leadership.

Let me also say that I am very impressed by the calibre of participants at this expo. Given their positions, I have no doubt that the discussions we have over the next few days will lead to tangible agreements and actionable decisions whose practical impact we will see in our companies, communities and countries within a very short time.

I thank the organisers once again for the work they have done and the warm reception given to us since our arrival and wish all of us a fruitful and enjoyable week.

The Rise of $1bn e-Commerce Industry in Nigeria

According to Euromonitor International data, Nigeria boasts the largest online market for apparel and footwear in Africa, which is expected to grow from US$104 million in 2014 to $1billion in 2019. The building blocks for future developments in e-tailing are emerging in sub-Saharan Africa, as a growing middle class and young population create a demand for products that store-based retail simply cannot meet, due to a lack of shopping malls and gridlocked cities.
