…commends her efforts at NEXIM and in APC’s National Leadership
Nigeria’s current economic and political challenges are surmountable with patriotic commitment of capable men and women handling various responsibilities, the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has said.
In a birthday felicitation message to the Women Representative in the Caretaker Committee and Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Executive Director for Business Development at the Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM), Honourable Stella Okotete, Senator Omo-Agege applauded her productive contributions to the APC and her role in boosting NEXIM’s relevance to the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government’s economic priorities.“NEXIM was established in 1991 as an export credit agency and its current statutory functions have become even more significant in recent years as government and the private sector ameliorate challenges caused by dwindling oil revenue by focusing greater attention on increased exports.
“Without doubt, the efforts of NEXIM, including that of its Business Development department being headed by Honourable Okotete over the past four years, has continued to enhance export diversification in line with the Federal Government’s trade policy and best practice.
“As she celebrates her birthday today, we rejoice with Honourable Stella Okotete, not just as an accomplished Urhobo daughter or as a great Niger Deltan but also as an uncommon patriot whose commitment and dedication to progressive ideals is helping to strengthen our great party in unique ways. He extraordinary commitment to the mandate of NEXIM is also commendably making positive impacts on Nigerian businesses, citizens’ lives, and the government’s agenda for economic development.
“Her long interest in Millennium Development Goals advocacy and attention for children’s issues, civil right, humanitarian relief and other causes have continued to endear her to many, and I join her family, associates and admirers in wishing my dear sister, Honourable Okotete a happy birthday as well and many more productive years ahead,” Senator Omo-Agege stated.
