Unlocking Global Prosperity: A Call to Action for Sustainable Supply Chains Good Trade Summit 2023

I was honoured to address the Good Trade Summit 2023 hosted by the Business Council for International Understanding and International Trade Centre, where global cooperation, sustainability, and policy’s role in shaping sustainable supply chains took centre stage.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals, especially in health action, demands global cooperation and private-sector engagement. This is crucial in Nigeria, where sustainable supply chains impact livelihoods and economic development. International Trade Centre’s ‘Unified Strength, Collective Impact’ is a catalyst for positive change, promoting empowerment, collaboration, and digital transparency across global value chains.

Empowering businesses to drive the Sustainable Development Goals agenda, amplifying small businesses’ voices, and encouraging women and youth innovation to contribute to value chains are key steps, with the government and the private sector supporting through microfinancing, mentorship, and sponsorship, fuelling economic growth SDG8.
