Czech Republic to deepen economic ties with Nigeria

The Czech Republic’s ambassador to Nigeria, Tomáš Výprachtický, has spoken of his country’s resolve to deepen bilateral cooperation with Nigeria across various economic sectors.
Mr Výprachtický said this at a dinner organised to unveil the Nigeria-Central Europe Chamber of Commerce in Abuja on Sunday.
Mr Výprachtický said, “The idea is to provide a platform for government officials, captains of industry and leaders in the creative sector to connect in a friendly atmosphere, encourage meaningful dialogue and cultivate strategic partnerships.
“Our companies, corporations, and institutions have been coming here for quite some time. We have a long-standing political and economic relationship between Nigeria and the Czech Republic.”
He added, “There is already a sovereign corporation between our two countries: Since the past seven years, Nigerian priests have served in one of our monasteries. This sovereign corporation is just one of the many stories we have had over the years. Nigeria is a great country with plenty of natural and human resources, lots of engineering and technological potential.
“When I was appointed ambassador, my main goal was to exploit and boost such potential of mutual cooperation between the two countries, which, frankly speaking, so far has been partly fulfilled.”
The president of NCECC, Paschal Onyemaechi, said that the organisation had been registered since August 2025 to bolster ties between the two countries.
According to him, NCECC operates across not less than five countries with its mandate to deepen Europe-Africa relations, saying Europe will leverage technology, technical know-how and good ethics, while Africa depends on natural resources, a young population and a vibrant economic market.
He revealed the organisation planned to establish the New Partnership for Development of Africa project, among other things, to achieve its targets.
