The Process?

When a global company experiences a trade-related problem in Nigeria or African markets, our experts use a variety of tools to achieve a resolution, tailoring the approach to the company’s needs. These problems can range from short-term issues, such as getting a product through customs, to longer-term, systemic challenges, like foreign governments reserving an entire industry sector for domestic firms.

Our process is designated to ensure credible support of the national interest and engagement of Government officials, leading to more effective advocacy for your organisation.

The steps include:

The process starts when a company reports a trade barrier to us with a call or an e-mail describing the problem, its impact on the company’s ability to export and the desired resolution.

After receiving the background information, we will assemble a coordinated team to work on the problem.
