The Istanbul Africa Business Association (IABA) recently paid a courtesy visit to His Excellency Ambassador Ismail Yusuf Abba, at the Embassy of the Republic of Nigeria, Ankara, Turkey, on 7th July 2022. The IABA delegation was led by Mr. Adeoye Benjamin, President of IABA; Mr. Babajide Owolodun, Vice President of IABA. Mr. Micheal Osasona, Board Chairman of IABA, Miss. Emmanuela Wirsiy, General Secretary of IABA, Miss. Vida Bayoh, Presidential committee member of IABA.
The purpose of the visit was to seek economic cooperation on the articulated essence of IABA, which is about creating a credible centralized platform for connecting and promoting businesses and trade opportunities in Turkey for the African business community and beyond. Another objective of the association is to empower African entrepreneurs in the community, deepen Istanbul – Africa economic ties, and create a sustainable market approach system for SMEs.
In addition, another critical issue that was discussed at this epoch-making meeting is the forthcoming 2nd IABA Business Expo tagged ‘Africa-Turkey Textile and Fashion Expo,’ which will be coming up in Istanbul, Turkey. It will be held on the 22nd of September 2022. The ambassador passionately expressed his interests and commended the association for the laudable idea.
