President Bola Tinubu hasarrived in New Delhi and held the first meeting with Gopichand Hinduja, Chairman/CEO of the Hinduja Group of Companies.
The conglomerate holds a total asset portfolio exceeding $100 billion U.S. Dollars, according to a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, Presidential Spokesman.
Ngelale said the President received the Indian Industrialist within 90 minutes of arriving in India for a meeting, which began around 8:00 pm local time.
Accompanied to the meeting by Nigeria’s Ministers of Finance, Trade & Industry, and Foreign Affairs, the Nigerian leader made it clear to his first visitor that he is in India with one focus to attract investments to Nigeria with lucrative opportunities for investors, but most essentially, jobs for Nigerians and new revenue opportunities for Nigeria’s federal and sub-national governments.
The Hinduja Group Chairman told the President that he witnessed his landmark effort as Governor of Lagos in turning a coastal erosion and water encroachment crisis into a massive free trade zone where industry thrives. He said this was partially responsible for his excitement to partner with Nigeria’s new President to create win-win prosperity for Nigeria’s talented population.
