In an effort to promote trade ties, Consul-General of France in Lagos, Laurence Monmayrant, has reaffirmed the French government’s commitment to the development of businesses and economic ties within Nigeria.
She stated this in Lagos when the President of the Franco-Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), Usman Mohammed, led her to the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) to perform the closing gong ceremony to officially close the day’s trading on Tuesday.
According to her, the French government is looking forward to working with NGX to have more brands listed on its platform in the coming year. Monmayrant said: “I understand that a lot has been done since the demutualisation process.
They have improved in many ways, whether on reutilisation and also finance which is a very interesting topic to us in France. “It is very interesting to be here to see what is happening. You know we have 100 French companies in Nigeria and I came along with the Chairman of the Franco-Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and his board members. They have over 400 French and Nigerian companies as members, so you can see that we have strong economic and business ties with Nigeria. ‘’- THE GUARDIAN
