Three organizations are partnering to showcase Nigeria’s indigenous products in the United States of America.

They are the Committee of Youth on Mobilisation and Sensitisation (CYMS), the Organisation of Youth in International, Trade, and Commerce (OY-ITC), and “BUY-Naija Projects’’.

CYMS’s Director-General, Mr. Obinna Nwaka, said in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja that the move was to assist in the implementation of the Nigeria-U.S. Trade and Commerce summit scheduled for February 2022.

Nwaka stated that the partnership also aimed at encouraging diversification of Nigeria’s economy from oil and white-collar jobs to boost revenue and ensure self-reliance by teeming youths.

The OY-ITC and “BUY-Naija Projects’’ of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment focus on helping Nigerian youths through empowerment programmes.

Nwaka expressed optimism that the partnership would give young entrepreneurs who were into the production of “Made-in-Nigeria’’ products and other services a golden opportunity in their lifetimes.

He added that CYMS would encourage entrepreneurs after the exhibition to become successful in their areas of specialization.

He recalled that the organization had collaborated with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council and other international bodies in the past where entrepreneurs were mobilized to participate in capacity building.

He noted that young people were desirous to contribute to Nigeria’s economic growth through their skills.

“Oftentimes, lack of an environment conducive to business, lack of sense of belonging and inability or impatience to acquire necessary documentation from regulatory bodies have been their major challenge,’’ he stated.

Nwaka also emphasized the need to waive some “bottleneck’’ requirements for prospective entrepreneurs to register and operate their businesses.
