He stated that the advocacy group which is on the Nigerian Embassy, United States Website has made tremendous impact in attracting trade and investment into the country.
Igboaka also urged the federal government to reduce the burden of sourcing for foreign exchange for Nigerian business owners.
He called for a change in harmonising and reducing the burden involved in sourcing foreign exchange, adding that the government should create avenues for businesses to thrive.
The government should address issues and bottlenecks in doing business, there are lots of inconstitencies in government policies with the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN flip flop policies that are not consistent.
