President Muhammadu Buhari has lauded the Executive Director/Chef Executive Officer of Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Mr. Olusegun Awolowo, on his election as President of National Trade Promotion Organizations (TPOs) from ECOWAS member states.

A release by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, quoted the President as saying that Awolowo’s unanimous election was testament to the confidence reposed in him, and in Nigeria, by Chief Executive Officers of trade promotion organizations in West Africa, and urged him to serve to the best of his ability, and do the country proud.

“President Buhari notes that an ECOWAS TPO Network holds great possibilities for Nigeria and the sub-region in the areas of exchange of commercial information and business opportunities, adding that the domiciling of the Secretariat in Abuja would open vistas of opportunities for Nigeria,” the release continued.

“The President wishes Mr Awolowo well in his new assignment, expressing confidence that Nigeria and ECOWAS would benefit a lot from his expertise in trade promotions.”
