The agreement was signed by Nigerian Ambassador to Belgium,
Obinna Chiedu Onowu and A-Law’s Managing Partner, Patricia Leers,
The MoU serves as the primary basis for the relationship
between the Embassy and the Law Firm, and contemplates inter-alia on leveraging
and exchanging information and network in the areas of trade and investment,
maritime and logistics, agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare and other
relevant sectors of interest in Nigeria.
The agreement will also facilitate the development and operation
of a framework for physical and virtual trainings, internships and exchange
programs in Belgium to experienced and trainee judges and lawyers from Nigeria.
According to Ambassador Onowu” the in-house
multidisciplinary team of Belgian and foreign Lawyers as well as niche practice
in the logistics and transportation area of law may bring across further
opportunities for cross-border cooperation models.”
All parties are optimistic that the MOU would increasingly
highlight the economic potentials of Africa’s largest market (Nigeria), drive
foreign direct investment and accrue mutual benefits to all parties and
countries involved.
