HC Deb 27 March 1981 vol 1 c441W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if, to assist British exporters, actual or potential, he will publicise the results of the President of Nigeria's recent visit in so far as these relate to the further identification of precise types and quantities of goods and services which Nigeria requires for its development.

Mr. Parkinson

The President's visit was primarily a State occasion. It followed closely after the publication in outline of Nigeria's fourth national development plan—in which particular priorities were identified in agriculture, education, infrastructural development, manufacturing, housing and health and which received wide publicity before and during the State visit. I expect these priorities to be refined and identified in greater detail in the full plan which is to be published soon and my Department will ensure that they are widely publicised.

Forward to
