Uganda and Nigeria Commit to Action-Driven Deals at Kampala Forum

What the report says

Uganda’s government has urged businesses from Uganda and Nigeria to convert the outcomes of the Uganda–Nigeria Business Forum and Exhibition in Kampala into practical trade, investment and partnership projects. The call was made by Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in charge of Regional Cooperation, Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo, according to SoftPower News, which said he emphasized that the forum’s value should be judged by business results rather than discussion alone.

The Kampala event brought together public and private sector participants for a two-day exchange aimed at deepening commercial ties between the two countries. The source report indicates that officials want the resolutions from the forum to lead to concrete deals, although it does not give a detailed list of agreements or announce any signed transactions.

The development matters because Uganda and Nigeria are among Africa’s larger markets, and business forums like this are often used to open new channels for trade, services and investment. In general, such meetings can help companies identify partners and governments highlight priority sectors, but the specific sectors involved were not detailed in the supplied material.

SoftPower News presented the event as part of broader efforts to turn diplomatic and business dialogue into measurable economic cooperation between Kampala and Nigerian counterparts.
