The executive vice president, Intra-African Trade and Export Development, Afreximbank, Kanayo Awani, said: “We would like to thank TGI Group for their participation at IATF2025. TGI’s commitment to local value addition, sustainable manufacturing, and inclusive economic growth aligns perfectly with the mission of the trade fair, to drive intra-African trade and create lasting economic opportunities across the continent.
TGI’s presence at IATF2025 will not only highlight their diverse portfolio and innovative approaches but also open doors for strategic partnerships and investments that can accelerate Africa’s industrialisation and economic transformation.”
The vice chairman of the Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group, Farouk Gumel, added: “TGI’s ethos is all about creating value and enhancing wellbeing. To achieve this, we consistently seek new opportunities and partnerships from within and outside the continent. The opportunities within Africa are limitless. The IATF gives us the platform to identify and pursue these new ideas, resources and partnerships.
