Lagos, Nigeria – Poland and Nigeria will hold their first-ever Polish–Nigerian Economic Forum on September 11, 2025, at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos, in a landmark effort to deepen bilateral trade and investment ties.

Described as the largest Polish–Nigerian business-to-business (B2B) gathering of 2025, the forum aims to strengthen partnerships and stimulate growth by highlighting Poland’s economic success story, strategic areas for collaboration, and the role of sustainable finance in driving development.
The statement added that the participation of KUKE (Polish Export Credit Agency) and BGK (Polish Development Bank) underscores the importance of export credit and development financing in enabling cross-border investments.
