The SA-Nigeria Chamber of Commerce was launched during May 2005, at the
Michelangelo hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg. This prestigious event
attracted more than 150 business-people.
The SA-NCC is a non-profit organization created for the promotion,
facilitation and assistance of Nigeria-related business. The initiative has
the support of the Nigerian High Commission, among other agencies. Companies
driving the initiative include KPMG, Standard Bank of South Africa, MTN,
Phillips Consulting, Nampak and First Bank of Nigeria.
Nigeria represents a major business opportunity but has also proved to be
one of the most challenging countries in Africa in which to conduct
business. The Chamber assists South African businesses to access this market
and helps them to understand and adapt to Nigeria's rules and culture, which
are very different from South Africa's.
The chamber has regular breakfasts (see Events) at which topics that may be
of interest to business people, such as customs regulations, challenges of
doing business, new opportunities, sector information and the South
Africa-Nigeria relationship, are discussed. Speakers include officials and
specialists from institutions and organisations doing business in Nigeria.
The Chamber is a valuable source of information on the Nigerian laws and
regulations and our network is a unique reservoir of Nigeria-related
business knowledge and practical advice. We also have a tie up with the
Nigeria-South Africa Chamber of Commerce in Lagos to allow our members to
make use of their local expertise and networking opportunities with their
200-plus members.
