Nigeria, the front door to West Africa, constitutes a constant challenge in the search of the optimization of our commercial relationships.
A consuming market estimated in about 130 million, that added approximately to other 120 million pertaining to the group of the E.C.O.W.A.S. (Economic Conmunity Organization West African State), add a market of around 250 million, that without doubt a very important attraction originates since this region is product importer and technology in general, being the Nigerian exports based on petroleum, (sixth world-wide producer), cacao, rubber, gum arabic, etc.
Many Argentine Managers have already made important businesses with Nigerian Managers and vice versa, in a present conjuncture in which both countries want to be related commercially
