The Niger State Government has opened discussions with a Turkish company, the Ankara Chamber of Commerce, for a possible mutually beneficial partnership.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG) of Niger State, Alh. Abubakar Usman, on behalf of the Governor, received the delegation from Turkey, led by Prof. Omer Caglar Yilmaz, a board member of the Ankara Chamber of Commerce, at the Government House, Minna.
The SSG acknowledged the expertise of Turkey in many areas and noted the state government's interest in making the partnership a reality. He highlighted opportunities for collaboration in sectors such as health, agriculture, infrastructure, and ICT.
He added that the state government would facilitate a study visit to Turkey to deepen the discussion on the partnership.
The leader of the delegation, Prof. Omer Caglar Yilmaz, spoke in Turkish while the Vice CEO of Turquaz Health, Naci Tamer Hotomaroglu, interpreted. Prof. Yilmaz highlighted the competence of the company in various sectors such as health, infrastructure, ICT, and agriculture, expressing optimism that partnering with Niger State would be successful given its proximity to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Earlier, the delegation met with the Commissioner for Industries, Trade and Investment, Alh. Aminu Suleiman Takuma, and heads of other relevant MDAs to discuss ways of partnership.
