I met Janine Roberts in Cape Town, and her story perfectly captures the power of entrepreneurship.
After going through the Tony Elumelu Foundation @TonyElumeluFDN ’s Entrepreneurship Programme @tefconnect in 2016, Janine built Ukama Contract Packing into a growing enterprise employing 30+ people.

The United States remains committed to expanding the bilateral commercial partnership to drive growth, enhance security, attract investment, and foster innovation that builds a stronger, safer, and more prosperous future for both our countries.
U.S. Consulate Political and Economic Chief Michael Ervin recently participated in @naccng's annual economic roundtable, engaging with Nigeria's business leaders, entrepreneurs, and economic stakeholders.
In his remarks, Ervin thanked the NACC for bridging business communities across the United States and Nigeria and for fostering commercial ties that underpin broader partnerships, including the U.S.-Nigeria Commercial and Investment Partnership.

#ThisWeekinUSNigeriaHistory in 1978, President Jimmy Carter visited Nigeria marking the first-ever visit by a sitting U.S. President to sub-Saharan Africa.
We were thrilled to welcome Dr. Omoju Miller, a renowned Nigerian-American computer scientist and startup founder as part of the U.S. Speaker Program. In Abuja and Lagos, Dr. Miller engaged with leaders across tech, creative, business, education, and policy sectors sharing her expertise on Artificial Intelligence, building sustainable tech ecosystems, and empowering the next generation of innovators.
During her visit, Dr. Miller highlighted how U.S.-Nigeria collaboration in technology and innovation can expand when young people seize the growing opportunities in the digital economy and develop their skills in AI. Alongside Dr. Miller, American tech companies based in Nigeria emphasized their role in setting the gold standard in AI development. Their insights inspired conversations about tech development, and the critical role Nigerian youth can play in shaping the future of technology and the U.S.-Nigeria commercial relationship.
The U.S. Speaker Program is a U.S. Department of State exchange program that brings prominent American experts from diverse fields to engage with new audiences and exchange ideas with professionals around the world. #USinNigeria
