Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed confidence that India can continue to sustain a growth rate of between nine and ten per cent which offers limitless opportunities to overseas communities to contribute their mite towards it. India has entered an exciting new phase. It is a vibrant and self-confident nation. Singh is the first Prime Minister to make a bilateral visit to Nigeria after the trip made by the late Jawaharlal Nehru in 1962. Indian business and industry are the second largest employer in Nigeria.
He said India and Nigeria shared many commonalities and historical experiences and common developmental challenges have brought the two countries close. We share common hopes and aspirations. India is the largest democracy in the world and Nigeria is the largest democracy in Africa. We are both multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-lingual countries governed by systems of plural democracy.
