Dr. Jani Ibrahim; Supervisor and President of the South East, South South Chamber of Commerce, Sir Humphrey Ngonadi; as well as the presidents and executives of chambers of commerce across the country.
The conference served as a strategic platform for high-level dialogue on investment opportunities, economic reforms, industrial policy development, trade promotion, and private sector engagement in Nigeria’s economic transformation. Discussions also centered on enhancing policy advocacy, fostering strategic partnerships, and building capacity across sectors.

RMRDC’s exhibition stand attracted widespread attention from dignitaries, industry leaders, and stakeholders. Many expressed admirations for the Council’s ongoing commitment to driving sustainable industrial development through the promotion of local raw materials and value addition.
The Council’s participation underscored its mandate to catalyze Nigeria’s industrial growth by encouraging innovation, supporting local content, and facilitating collaboration between researchers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs.
The NACCIMA Q3 meeting, coupled with the Made-in-Anambra exhibition, reaffirmed the central role of indigenous innovation and private sector participation in the country’s journey toward self-reliance and inclusive economic development.
