According to him, the project is part of the EU Global Gateway strategy to offer more opportunities to Nigerians, particularly women and youth.
He emphasised the EU’s commitment to partnership and investment in Nigeria.
“For this dream to come true, we need to work together, and you, Nigerians, have a major role to play in Africa and in the world.
“Since my arrival last September, I see daily and concrete progress in our partnership, in particular through the roll-out of our EU Global Gateway strategy to offer more opportunities to the people and especially the women and the youth, or through the €300M of new projects that we are launching this year in the NW and NE of the country,” he stated.
