administration’s determination to do all within its powers to facilitate and
encourage the rapid diversification of Nigeria’s economy.
Speaking at an audience with the outgoing Ambassador of the
Czech Republic to Nigeria, Jaroslav Siro, and President Jonathan declared that
his administration was fully committed to moving the Nigerian economy away from
dependence on crude oil exports by promoting the development of the country’s
non-oil sectors.
The President said that in keeping with this commitment, the
Federal Government was actively exploring all avenues of boosting trade and
economic relations with other countries in areas not related to the oil and gas
sector.
President Jonathan commended Siro who has served in Nigeria
for over five years for his efforts to enhance bilateral relations between
Nigeria and the Czech Republic which resulted in the tripling of the volume of
trade between the two countries.
