The Ivorian ambassador to Nigeria has paid a visit to Enugu State, signaling a push for closer cooperation with both government and private industry.

Governor Peter Mbah welcomed the envoy, noting that the visit could open opportunities in aviation and manufacturing, sectors the state is eager to expand.

For Côte d’Ivoire, the outreach reflects an effort to deepen sub-national partnerships across West Africa as part of broader regional integration goals.

Analysts say the visit underscores the importance of state-level diplomacy in boosting economic and political ties between neighboring countries.
