They had discussions about possible areas of collaboration between Bangladesh and Nigeria to derive bilateral trade benefits, particularly in the apparel and textile industry.

Faruque Hassan said there was potential to import more cotton from Nigeria which is a cotton-producing nation.

Nigeria was also a potential market for Bangladesh’s RMG exports, he said.

He called upon the Nigerian government to reduce import duty on RMG from Bangladesh and requested cooperation from the delegation in this regard.

It would benefit both Bangladesh and Nigeria and create a win-win situation, Faruque Hassan added.
