United States (U.S.) Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Stuart Symington and his United Kingdom (UK) counterpart, Mr. Paul Arkwright, have paid separate visits to Chairman of Forte Oil Plc, Mr. Femi Otedola, during which the parties held discussions on Nigeria’s economy and the role of businesses in the country.
They also held talks on how to explore partnership with international businesses to create more job opportunities for Nigerian youths.At the breakfast meeting with Otedola at his Ikoyi, Lagos residence, the U.S. ambassador commended the Nigerian energy magnate for his continuing investments in the country and for being a role model for other indigenous entrepreneurs.
The American envoy drew Otedola’s attention to Nigeria’s growing population, noting that the private sector has a critical role to play in creating opportunities for youths to be gainfully employed and in nation-building.This, Symington added, would help to address poverty in the country and rising insecurity due to the high rate of unemployment.
