Obi meets with politics, business key figures in UK, says MSMEs key to Nigeria’s economic revival


Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate and a leading aspirant for the National Democratic Party in the 2027 elections, is intensifying his global push for Nigeria’s economic transformation.

During a recent visit to London, Obi held high-level meetings with key figures in British politics and business, including Lord Jonathan Marland, Chairman of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC). 

The discussion with Lord Marland, he said, held particular importance as it centred on prospective trade opportunities, economic advancement, and the promotion of small businesses throughout Nigeria 

 It is clear that fostering a robust economy and generating employment, as evidenced by rapidly growing nations like China, Indonesia, and Vietnam, necessitates a concerted effort to prioritise support for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.” Obi stated.

He reiterated his longstanding belief that Nigeria’s MSMEs are the “driving force behind economic growth,” urging vigorous backing especially in agriculture and manufacturing to spur development and jobs. 

“A New and revitalised Nigeria is POssible,” Obi affirmed, signing off as “PO.”

Obi’s engagements signal his proactive blueprint for a thriving Nigeria ahead of 2027.
