Government would continue to support and promote the development of the non-oil sector.
“The Norwegian Seafood Council is doing so well. As a government representative, one of our major responsibility or mandate, is to promote the non-oil sector of the economy.
“We try as much as possible to create an enabling environment for the organised private sectors so that their businesses can thrive.
“We want to encourage the Norwegians as long as they want to continue to do business with us, the government of Nigeria will continue to create an enabling environment for them to thrive,” Udeh said.
The Africa Director, Norwegian Seafood Council, Mr Trond Kostveit, called for a viable business collaboration between both countries.
“We encourage this continuous relationship with Nigeria as we continue to work together in meetings like this which creates an avenue where we can exchange our views.
“This is a possibility for the two countries to become even closer and strengthen their friendships even closer than what we have been doing.
“It is amazing to see how aborigine stockfish is popular in Nigeria and as our biggest importers, we want to foster the relationship,” Trond said. (NAN)
