On October, 09, 2019 in Lagos the presentation of the Ukrainian project on construction of agro-complex for cattle breeding was held. The presentation was at the Governor’s Lagos State Office, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Initiator of this project is Olena Nedryhailo – the Director of Trading House Nigeria-Ukraine.
The event was supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the Embassy of Ukraine in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Charge d'Affairs of Ukraine to Nigeria Serhii Yushkevych took part in this event. During the presentation, he stressed the importance of cooperation between Nigeria and Ukraine in the fields of agriculture, building, education and services. The Embassy of Ukraine in Nigeria actively supports Ukrainian and Nigerian business initiatives to create new joint projects and implement them both in Ukraine and Nigeria.
Lagos State is one of the biggest at economics’ view states in Nigeria, and building of such an agricultural complex is an important task for the leadership of the State. Building of the agro-complex is beneficial for both parties: Ukraine provides European quality services at an attractive price, attracts Ukrainian highly-skilled industry specialists, for Nigeria the project is beneficial in its own building of a complex for the domestic market that will fill the needs of the citizens, with a new jobs creating.
It is a good example of organizing Public Private Partnership.
The next step will be the arrival of Ukrainian experts to Lagos for the preparation of preliminary data, with the aim of developing the project for agro-complex building and at the end of November we look forward to the visit of officials from the Lagos State to Ukraine, in order to acquaint them with the experience of Ukraine in agriculture field.
