US secretary of commerce Penny Pritzker
This trip provides an opportunity for the PAC-
DBIA members to gather facts about the
commercial opportunities and challenges in Nigeria
and Rwanda: report back to the president (Obama)
with strong and actionable recommendations, and
develop policy ideas that will benefit both countries
and raise commercial relationship to the next level.
After leaving Nigeria, the delegation will travel to
Kigali, Rwanda.
”President Obama and I are convinced that the
American private sector, working in
partnership with the African business
community, can help address some of the
continent’s most pressing challenges,
including building modern infrastructure,
creating jobs and opportunity for young
people, and expanding access to education
and the Internet.”
”When we think about the economic potential
of countries across Africa—and Nigeria is
absolutely at the top of that list—the imperative
that we all face is to promote economic
growth and opportunity at home, and
deepening our mutually beneficial ties of trade
and commerce is not just a nice to have, it is
a must-have for all of us,” Secretary Pritzker
said.
