This first annual event holding at Radisson Harbourfront Hotel in downtown Toronto would focus on these sectors: agriculture, infrastructure, healthcare, power and alternative energy, solid mining and ICT/education.
”Since Ethiopian airline is one of the biggest International carriers in Nigeria, it is a welcome development and a square peg in a square hole for Ethiopian Airline to be the major carrier of this year’s event. The summit planned as a three-day, world-class business and investment networking and information sharing events CNISC 2019 will focus on the reality of investing in Nigeria, the blue economy with presentations and panel discussions on the misconceptions, the challenges and most importantly, the opportunities of investing in Nigeria today,” the statement added.
