Grenada Honorary Consul Seeks Improved Business Alliances With Nigeria

Mr. Abidemi Oluwagbenga Sonoiki, the Honorary Consul for the Honorary Consulate of Grenada, has highlighted the importance of strengthening economic ties and encouraging growth between Nigeria and Grenada to create new business opportunities for Nigerian enterprises in Grenada.

This collaboration, he said, will pave the way for enhanced trade, investment, and cultural exchange between the two nations.

However, in collaboration with the Grenadian Government, the Nigerian government has identified key sectors where Nigerian businesses can thrive and contribute significantly to Grenada’s economic landscape.

These sectors include agriculture, manufacturing, technology, tourism, education, infrastructure development, and healthcare.

This initiative, Sonoiki noted, will mark a significant shift in commerce between the two nations, moving beyond previously limited trade connections to a robust framework for sustained economic partnership. “The opportunities created through this collaboration will lead to job creation, innovation, and a deeper connection between our people,” he said.

The Honorary Consul, who is a prominent figure in the business community, is actively working to establish himself as a key player in fostering business alliances between Nigeria and Grenada.

With a vision to facilitate trade and economic growth, Sonoiki said his initiatives are set to create a robust platform for Nigerian businesses to thrive in the Caribbean markets.

In a statement, he emphasised that the partnership is not just about economic gains but about building a future where both nations prosper.

“We are thrilled to be a catalyst for this exciting new chapter in Nigeria-Grenada relations. By fostering connections between Nigerian businesses and their counterparts in Grenada, we unlock a wealth of potential for growth and mutual success.

“This initiative benefits Nigerian businesses by opening new markets and injecting a dynamic boost to the Grenadian economy. By attracting skilled and innovative Nigerian companies, Grenada gains access to a wider range of products, services, and expertise.

“My goal is to create a strong and sustainable business relationship between Nigeria and Grenada. By forging these alliances, we can open up new markets and opportunities for Nigerian businesses, ultimately contributing to the economic growth of both nations. I am excited about the prospects and committed to seeing these initiatives come to fruition.

“We need to harness all the talents and skills of the people of the two nations together to promote investment and trade and to foster collaboration in areas such as education, health, tourism, culture, cross-cultural interactions, ideas and talent sharing, waste management and other critical areas.

“We are putting effort together to enhance collaboration in export between both countries and the rest of the world. I want a situation where exporter in Nigeria can increase their volume of trade to Canada, America and Europe through a continuum and synergy of both countries, thereby making them aggregators for the sales and distribution of commodities.”

Sonoiki noted that his initiatives will position Nigeria as a true business pioneer, fostering collaboration and creating a platform for mutual success in Grenada.

“This effort will set a powerful example for other Nigerian companies looking to expand their global reach.”
