Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) have stated that Nigeria is expected to attract over $150 billion investment from the Halal trade exhibition.

This was disclosed by the President of, ACCI, Dr. Al-Mujtaba Abubakar, during a virtual press conference to announce the expo scheduled to hold on the 14th to 16th of September 2021 at the Abuja Trade and Convention Centre, Abuja.

He said the expo would also attract over $150 billion investment from the Middle East countries to Nigeria.

According to him, the Halal business is worth over $4 trillion, saying that Nigeria is currently doing about $50 billion worth of trade in the Halal industry.

He explained that investment would target Nigeria’s cosmetic, pharmaceutical and tourism sectors, adding that the expo would also serve as a launch pad to attract new businesses for Nigeria and Africa at large.

“We have been working on the expo for the past four months as plans are ongoing as we are giving it all it takes for the expo to succeed.”

He further stressed that the Halal business also covers all assets of commerce, banking, production where Nigerian companies can take advantage of to forge new businesses.

“The event, which is jointly organised by the Abuja Trade Centre (ATC) has so far attracted interest from different countries in Africa and the middle East.

“We are already in touch with so many organisations in Taiwan, Malaysia, Jordan Morrocco and Algeria. Going forward, we are going to be having this expo on a yearly basis and would be championed as part of our activities.”

The Executive Director, Abuja Trade Centre (ATC), Jude Chime, said a whole lot of foreign companies in the Middle East are seeking ways to enter the Nigerian market not just to bring in their products, but also expanding their manufacturing activities in the country.

“We will be signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand the frontiers of trade in the Halal industry. We are targeting the tourism, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. Nigeria is going to benefit a lot from this expo investment wise.”

He said the $50 billion trade by Nigerian companies is majorly in the beverage and food industry, calling on Nigerian businesses to leverage on the opportunities the platform provides.

“The expo would also give Nigerian exporters the opportunity to break even into the Middle East markets through the Halal certification”.

“The MoU would go a long way in increasing the level of acceptability of Nigerian products.”

“Most importantly, the products must have the Halal certification. It is a very wonderful platform to help promote export especially for our exporters and manufacturers,” he said

The first Deputy president, Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), Dele Oye, said the Halal expo is about promoting trade and investments taking cognisance of religion to reach a wider market.

He urged members of the business community to take advantage of the opportunity while also restating NACCIMA’s commitment to supporting the expo.

The current Chairman, Halal Certification Authority, Dr. Ibrahim Oreagba, said Halal fair is about promoting products that are permissible and wholesome for food safety and quality.

“We are excited about this fair because it will be promoting Halal certified products and it is important we understand the concept of Halal which means permissible. It simply means you are participating in Allah’s activities of eating what is clean to promote good health.”
