Vice President Kashim Shettima has commended the Export Trading Group (ETG) for its multi-million-dollar investment portfolio in Nigeria, assuring that ongoing reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will safeguard and strengthen the company’s operations. He noted that ETG’s interests in agro-logistics, fertiliser systems, seed production, and industrial processing align closely with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Vice President made the remarks on Thursday while receiving a delegation from ETG at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, led by the company’s Global Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Niren Murugan. He praised the company’s long-term commitment to Nigeria since 2010 and its decision to take a more active role in the country’s agricultural value chain. Shettima described Nigeria as a prime destination with the population and resources necessary for sustainable agribusiness growth.

Highlighting specific interventions, the Vice President applauded ETG’s efforts in seed development, oil processing, fertiliser blending, and agricultural extension services. He also commended the company’s Nigerian team for strategically selecting locations for its proposed Centres of Excellence and assured them of the federal government’s full support as they expand their investments across the country.
