FORMATION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CHAMBER

In December 2007, a group of young and dynamic businessmen  and technocrats, motivated by the need to revive and foster the hitherto flourishing and booming business activities between Nigeria and Brazil, consulted and held meetings with then Brazilian Consul-General in Lagos, Ms. Maria A. Figueiredo.  The Consul-General was very enthusiastic and receptive of the idea and proposal and gave her approval and support.  Consequently, the Chamber was incorporated in September 2009, with the following principal objectives:

• To encourage and promote Nigeria-Brazil’s private and public sectors bilateral business, industrial and cultural relationships, by providing a network of national and international business contacts and investment opportunities;
• To promote, and develop all matters affecting those involved in the ventures;
• To encourage an orderly development and expansion of all segments of the business relationship between both countries, and
• To advise the governments of both countries on bilateral trade relations issues, etc.
