Tochil Nwaneri Attends Business  Expo In Japan, Joins  Tinubu For Brazil Trade Forum

… As Nigeria explores opportunities  in agriculture, real estate, manufacturing

As part of his unrelenting efforts to contribute his quota towards the socio-economic development of Nigeria, Chairman of Tochil Group, Imo – born international  business strategist, management consultant, and diplomat, Amb. Tochil Nwaneri, was among the over 10,000 visitors who participated at the just concluded business expo in Japan; a high level strategic business meeting which created the platform to promote businesses, seek development partners,  and foreign investors in critical sectors like: agriculture, tourism, real estate, renewable energy, e-transportation, health, information technology, oil and gas.

Despite his tight business schedules and international engagements, Dr Tochil Nwaneri, however,  joined Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s president and other high profile dignatries during the state working visit to Brazil where he also participated very actively in the Brazil – Nigeria Business Forum. 

 A former Special Adviser  on Economic and Foreign Investment to the Prime Minister of Sáo Tomé  & Príncipe, his participation at the Business Forum underscored his global impact, wider contacts, and cross- continental investment alignment, fostering landmark partnerships in sub-Sharan Africa, the Caribbean, and across Europe using his companies: Earnwell Micro Finance Bank and Centrafrigue Investment Group (CIG)- a pan – African and global investment conglomerate established to further strengthen and create investment opportunities in the oil & gas industry, financial sector, road construction, and foreign diplomacy.

It is also heartwarming to note that Chairman,Tochil Group, Amb. Dr. Tochil Nwaneri, provides opportunities for developments from Brazil to Nigeria, apart from other countries where he commands economic influence, and has  made impressive developmental impact.

Publisher of 4th Estate Reporters, Njoku Macdonald Obinna, who spoke with Amb Nwaneri during the business forum in Brazil, captured the agenda for the august meeting. A state visit that marked the transition from diplomacy to deals. 

Beyond dialogue, the focus is activating multi-billion – dollar agricultural investments, advancing joint initiatives like the $1.1 billion green imperative mechanization project and securing new flows of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Nigeria’s agriculture and energy sectors. 

Lending his voice as a serial entrepreneur, investor, and development partner during the high-level business interactive session,  Dr. Tochil Nwaneri (Global Peace Ambassador ), stated that the Brazil- Nigeria  Business Forum is also about deepening political trust, expanding cultural exchange, and harnessing shared opportunities in renewable energy, climate resilience, and digital transformation.

Moving forward, the two countries  have set ambitious targets to revive and expand their trade partnership. At several fora, leaders pledged to push trade back above US $2 billion, with a longer-term goal of reaching US $3.5 billion by 2030. 

Njoku Macdonald Obinna , however, gathered that Nigeria and Brazil have since signed an economic cooperation with the launch of the Green Imperative Partnership (GIP), a USD $1.1 billion initiative aimed at supplying 10,000 tractors and 50,000 pieces of equipment, to be assembled in Nigeria. 

This project, if fully implemented, is estimated to provide about 100,000 direct jobs and over 5 million indirect jobs. The program is anticipated to advance agricultural mechanisation and food security in Nigeria. It is imperative to note that the Green Imperative Agreement was signed during the visit of the Brazilian Foreign Minister, Mauro Viera, in  Abuja  this year.

The two- day successful business summit provided an avenue for Dr. Tochil Nwaneri to share same space and global stage with world leaders and renowned industry experts in the maritime, oil and gas, engineering, road construction, information technology, agriculture, renewable energy, transportation, commerce, and biotechnology.
