Tein Jack-Rich, a Nigerian businessman, said trade between the United States and Nigeria is crucial to the economic progress of both countries.
He said this in a statement issued Wednesday after meeting Roger Stone, an associate of former US President Donald Trump.
He added that commercial relations and investment prospects between the two countries are too significant to ignore, noting that they benefit citizens on both sides.
Speaking positively about Nigeria and advancing trade opportunities between the United States and Nigeria remains a vital call to action for the benefit of both our peoples,” he said.
Jack-Rich further emphasized that “love of country and push for real, big opportunity for national good” are key drivers of such engagement.
Meanwhile, US goods exports to Nigeria rose by 60 percent to $5.94 billion, while imports from the country fell to $4.49 billion in the first ten months of 2025.
