Denton, and Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, are among the other speakers at the international forum.
The nation’s non-oil export industry, which has enormous potential for economic growth and diversification, will be discussed by Oye, a highly accomplished attorney with more than 33 years of expertise in litigation and business transactions.
The head of NACCIMA, who is passionate about promoting trade and investment opportunities in Nigeria and Africa, will also be sharing perspectives on a variety of other industries that highlight Nigeria’s enormous potential, such as manufacturing, agriculture, the nation’s burgeoning creative industry, which has continued to gain international recognition, and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
