Japanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Matsunaga Kazuyoshi, has commended the management of Sacral Industries Limited for setting up a factory in Lagos to assemble consumer electronics and home appliances.
Kazuyoshi gave the commendation when he led a delegation from the Japanese Embassy, the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), Daikin Nigeria, and DaiTech Nigeria Limited on a factory tour of Sacral Industries Ltd.
Speaking during the tour, the Japanese ambassador described the action taken by the company as a noble gesture that would not only contribute to creating job opportunities for teeming Nigeria youths but also help to boost capacity or workforce in the engineering field.
The ambassador further explained that such action demonstrates the company’s immense confidence and commitment to contributing to the growth of the Nigerian economy.
He assured the company that his home country would continue to play its role in supporting businesses that would contribute immensely to improving the lives of the people in Nigeria.
“I am quite impressed with the action taken by the management of Sacral Industries to set up an assembly plant in Nigeria. It is the right step in the right direction. With this alone, jobs will be created, and knowledge can be passed on. Beyond this, there are other economic benefits, such as reduced pressure on the naira. I am confident that a great future lies ahead for Nigeria’s economy with this significant step,” he said.
