Nigeria, Turkey Trade Volume Climbs $1.1billion

The total trade volume of Nigeria and Turkey is currently at $1.145 billion, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan disclosed on Wednesday, March 2, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He made this known during a joint press conference with his host, President Muhammadu Buhari. Both leaders were addressing State House correspondents after holding bilateral talks inside Buhari’s office.

The visiting Turkish leader stressed that the result of the trade relation was in favour of Nigeria.

He said: “Our total trade volume is currently at $1.145 billion. Our export is $314 million and our import is $831 million. As you see, the result is to the favour of Nigeria.”

“I believe that if the two countries combine forces, making use of our own respective resources, we would be able to come up with even better outcomes.”

“As we speak, our business people are connecting with their Nigerian counterparts”, the Turkish president stated.

He pledged to encourage Turkish business men to invest in Nigeria, saying “Looking at the population of Nigeria and Turkey put together, we are talking about 260 million people, and this is a very important market”.
