In under three weeks since the ‘jollof rice debate’ between former African Presidents John Dramani Mahama of Ghana and Ian Khama of Botswana at ‘The Delborough Lagos’, Prime Minister Gaston Browne of Antigua and Barbuda had his own notable experience at the Lagos Island presidential lodge.
During his visit to Nigeria, Browne was accommodated at ‘The Delborough Lagos’ by Chief Alex Onyema, Chairman/CEO of AirPeace Airline, who extended an open invitation to the investor during a Business Forum meeting with the Nigerian business community.
Accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Maria Vanessa Bird-Browne, Browne praised the investor, Dr. Stanley Uzochukwu, for realizing the vision of such a world-class hotel in Nigeria and expressed interest in having a similar establishment in Antigua and Barbuda.
He took the opportunity to encourage other Nigerian business leaders and investors to consider investing in his country for mutual development benefits.
Chief Onyema, the organizer of the business forum, stated in a statement posted on AirPeace’s official Instagram page that the meeting served as a strategic platform for the Nigerian and Antiguan governments to explore business opportunities.
“Yesterday, we had a business forum with the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, who wooed Nigeria’s business community to come and invest in his country”, he said.
“It was a strategic avenue for both Nigerian and Antiguan governments to also discuss opportunities for mutual development gains”
