“And I am pleased to meet with the largest farmer in the State and former President.

“We are here to build bridges, make connections and see where we can make changes to move trade between both countries forward,” the High Commissioner said.

On the state of trade between the two countries, Nkrumah said: “Currently, I think we can do so much better. There is $2.7billion of trade between our two countries and happily it is in favour of Nigeria. $2 billion is for Nigeria export from Canada and about $700milliom is for export from Canada to Nigeria.

“But, there is still more to grow in terms of opportunities. If we are very much focus and structured and look for where to grow opportunities we can still see our export grow,” he said.(NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
