“We are optimistic of the future when the crisis will be ending because we have many companies that have settled here. We want a win-win partnership between the two countries.

 

“We have 100 companies that are settled in Nigeria, representing 10,000 people working in these companies and we want to increase our investments in Nigeria.”

 

Riester added that the French Government wanted to help in the development of different states, by investing both private and public sector, to deepen the relationship between the two countries.
