He cited the potential for Samsung to participate in the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund and establish off-grid, cold-chain integration in agriculture to reduce post-harvest losses.
The Samsung executives expressed interest in expanding their presence in Nigeria, citing success of their sister companies and opportunities in power generation, renewable energy, transportation infrastructure and oil/gas engineering.
Overall, the meeting focused on exploring areas of deeper collaboration between Nigeria and Samsung to leverage Nigeria’s large market and infrastructure needs with Samsung’s technological capabilities.
