“We already have a strong relationship with the region, and I’m looking forward to building on it,” he said in a release on 10 June 2022.
“My key focus will be on increasing job opportunities in the Nigerian region by providing online education through Vertex Digital Academy and establishing local BPO’s that will create extended job opportunities for the localities aiding in recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic.
“I want to connect firms for business in Nigeria, as well as uncover other chances for the country’s infrastructure needs in the field of setting up business execution. As the trade commissioner, my goal is to strengthen bilateral ties and help India and Nigeria reach new heights,” said Arora.
