We are honored to announce that the CEO of the Nigeria-USA Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) has been invited to participate in a high-level side event hosted by the Government of Niger State, Nigeria, in collaboration with the Consulate General of Nigeria in New York. This strategic gathering will take place during the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and will spotlight Nigeria’s subnational development ambitions on a global stage.
Event Theme: Bridging the Gap
Subnational Development, Human Capital, and Agricultural Transformation
This hybrid-format event will showcase Niger State’s bold commitment to inclusive growth through the New Niger Agenda, a locally driven development framework focused on human capital, rural transformation, and institutional reform.
A key highlight will be the presentation of Niger State’s Special Agro-Processing Zone (SAPZ) initiative—an ambitious effort to unlock agricultural investment, drive food system innovation, and foster sustainable partnerships across borders.
