He said: “The world is changing rapidly we are talking about “Trade War”  and  (we) are witnessing “New Economic Order and Trade Re-alignments, therefore, we have so much to do to place Nigeria -Malaysia trade relationship on a high pedestal. We are placing emphasis on improved mechanism in trade and in exchange of goods and services mutually beneficial to our economies. The idea of establishing Nigeria-Malaysia Trade Corridor is to improve trade conditions, taking into account the interests of both countries.”

He said the trade corridor will involve series of targeted products in sectors such as  agriculture, oil and gas and SMEs.

The NMBC chief also stated that the trade corridor would lead to efficient service delivery and create wealth in sectors such as agriculture, particularly the oil palm and agribusiness development with innovative approach for value addition.
