Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) is pleased to invite you to an exclusive meeting with H.E. Ambassador Lateef Kayode Are, the newly appointed Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the United States on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 10:30 AM. This meeting will take place at the CCA's Headquarters, 1100 17^th Street N.W., Suite 1200 Washinton D.C. 

This special engagement will provide CCA members with an opportunity to meet Ambassador Are and engage in a discussion on Nigeria's economic priorities, investment climate, and opportunities for expanding U.S.-Nigeria commercial partnerships.

As Africa's largest economy and one of its most dynamic markets, Nigeria offers significant opportunities across sectors including energy, agribusiness, infrastructure, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, financial services, and critical minerals. Ambassador Are will share his vision for strengthening U.S.-Nigeria business relations and highlight key areas where American companies can deepen their engagement and contribute to Nigeria's economic growth.

The discussion will also provide an opportunity for members to share their business interests, ask questions, and explore avenues for collaboration with the Embassy and Nigerian stakeholders.

We encourage all members with current or prospective business interests in Nigeria to attend this timely conversation.
