Dear CBE Community,
I want to take a few minutes to speak with you about an opportunity to do business in Nigeria. As we all know, and many of you have heard me say, "Capital is a coward and will not venture into unfriendly marketplaces". It is my belief, that the key to any successful partnership is the right partner. Well, I have had the opportunity to spend time with the new Governor of Imo State, in Nigeria, The Honorable Ikedi Ohakim and found him to be a visionary, and a man of integrity, who values the rule of law and sanctity of a contract, and believe he is that partner.
As such, I along with Global Investment Summits, headquarter in London am delighted to invite you and members of your organization or network to an Economic Forum where you will be able to learn more about some of the unique business opportunities taking place in Imo State. The Imo State is endowed with abundant human and natural resources, which could be harnessed to stimulate a realistic development process. Imo State is an attractive investment centre not only for agricultural and manufacturing concerns but also tourism, infrastructure, housing, tel ecommunications, electricity generation and distribution as well as in natural gas projects and other business services.
This forum is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about unprecedented trade and investment opportunities in Imo State, interact with Imo State's government leaders responsible for the U.S.- Imo State commercial and financial relationship, and network with an extraordinary collection of American and Nigerian corporate executives.
What: U.S. - Imo State, Nigeria Business Opportunity Forum
When: Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Where: Hay-Adams Hotel
Sixteenth & H Streets, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20006
Time: 9:00 - 10:30 a.m.
Please RSVP by Wednesday, April 28th. A member of my firm will follow up with you regarding this information. In the meantime, if there are any questions we can answer regarding the Economic Forum. Please do not hesitate to contact Jaimon Jackson at jjackson@jcwatts.com or Steve Waskiewicz, at 202-207-2854. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
