Speaking after the meeting, Edun underscored the importance of private sector collaboration in driving Nigeria’s development agenda.
“Our engagement with DP World reflects Nigeria’s commitment to creating a robust infrastructure framework that facilitates trade, improves logistics, and attracts foreign investment,” he said.
Sultan Bin Sulayem expressed DP World’s readiness to support Nigeria’s economic ambitions. “Nigeria is a key player in Africa, and we are committed to bringing our global experience in logistics and infrastructure to help the country achieve its development goals,” he remarked.
The partnership, if finalized, could lead to transformative projects aimed at enhancing Nigeria’s trade efficiency and boosting its global competitiveness.
