In a significant move to enhance economic development and strengthen the private sector, Stardom Horizon Global Ventures Ltd (SHGV) and the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) have formalized a strategic collaboration aimed at boosting trade, capacity building, and diaspora engagement.
The agreement was signed by Mr. Suleman Adebayo Audu, Managing Director/CEO of SHGV, and Mr. Dele Kelvin Oye, Esq. National President of NACCIMA, marking the beginning of a 24-month partnership designed to advance key national economic priorities.
A Shared Vision for Growth
The partnership will focus on several key areas, including training and capacity building, commodity trading, export facilitation, diaspora engagement, and the joint development of targeted programs. SHGV will serve as a strategic partner, designing and delivering specialized training sessions for NACCIMA’s affiliate members, particularly in areas such as WTO standards, trade facilitation, and business development.
While SHGV will not act as a funding partner, both parties have committed to mobilizing resources and identifying potential sponsors to support their initiatives.
Roles and Responsibilities
Under the agreement, SHGV will coordinate program implementation, provide expert facilitators, and work closely with NACCIMA to assess and address the capacity needs of member chambers. NACCIMA, on its part, will promote the programs among its vast membership, facilitate access to key stakeholders, and provide logistical support where necessary.
“This partnership represents a forward-thinking approach to economic empowerment,” said SHGV CEO Suleman Adebayo Audu. “We are committed to contributing our technical expertise to build the capacity of Nigerian enterprises and expand trade opportunities.”
In his remarks, NACCIMA President Dele Kelvin Oye, Esq. emphasized the importance of strategic alliances in today’s global economy. “Through this collaboration, we aim to unlock new opportunities for our members, especially SMEs, by connecting them with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to compete globally.”
Looking Ahead
The partnership will also explore avenues to engage the Nigerian diaspora in trade and investment, strengthening ties between global Nigerian communities and the domestic business landscape.
The agreement takes effect immediately and will be subject to periodic review and mutual consultation to ensure alignment with evolving priorities. Both parties have reaffirmed their commitment to transparency, confidentiality, and effective dispute resolution throughout the partnership.
This development marks a proactive step toward building a resilient and globally competitive Nigerian private sector.
