The United States Chamber of Commerce, American Business Council Nigeria and U.S Department of Commerce organized a commercial and investment dialogue (CID) between the United States and Nigeria, which took place at the United States Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday February 4th in Washington, D.C.

The planning for this event has been in the works for over two years, when the U.S Department of Commerce and Nigeria’s ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment (MITI) announced a bilateral policy in November 2017 that focused on trade and investment between both countries.

The goal for the CID was not to only strengthen the ties of trade and investment between the United States and Nigeria, but to also include policy makers and members of the private sector with the focus of ameliorating the business climate in Nigeria. American Tower Corporation a member of the American Business Council sponsored the reception that hosted the Public and Private Sector participants of the Commercial Investment Dialogue Cabnctv
