The Private Sector Federation (PSF) of Rwanda has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Kano Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (KACCIMA) to deepen trade and investment relations between Rwanda and Nigeria.
The partnership was formalized during the “Invest in Rwanda” Session, held alongside the 2025 Lagos International Trade Fair at the Lagos Continental Hotel.
Organized by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the High Commission of the Republic of Rwanda in Nigeria, in collaboration with the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), the event aimed to promote business opportunities and cross-border partnerships.
The agreement seeks to enhance business-to-business collaboration, trade promotion, and knowledge exchange between companies in both countries, turning dialogue into actionable investment ventures.
Ambassador Christophe Bazivamo, Rwanda’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, hailed the partnership as a major step in the expanding economic ties between the two nations.
“Investing in Rwanda is more than a financial decision, it’s joining a continental success story,” he said, emphasizing Rwanda’s dedication to innovation, excellence, and collaboration.
He also acknowledged the positive role of Nigerian investors in Rwanda’s economic growth, describing them as key contributors to the country’s trusted investment landscape.
Dr. Chinyere Almona, Director-General of the LCCI, reaffirmed the Chamber’s support for deeper trade and investment engagement, encouraging members to pursue joint ventures and technology partnerships with Rwandan firms.
She noted that the Invest in Rwanda Forum is “not merely a promotional platform but an avenue for structuring real business deals, creating jobs, and advancing intra-African trade under the AfCFTA framework.”
