EAW aims to attract Nigerian trade

NIGERIA: US multinationals will be the chief target of EAW Group's new campaign to highlight the business opportunities that are expected to follow next year's democratic elections in Nigeria. The Nigerian government has appointed the five-person Washington DC-based firm to attract inward investment, and promote trade links with the country. Aycoth admitted that the pitch could prove difficult, but stressed the business opportunities that the March ballot is expected to herald. 'Clearly there are issues to be resolved but the new head of state has made it clear that the army's place is not in government,' he added.
