Northern (N): Hungary (NH). Economic Relations: Nigeria

A file containing documents concerning a Hungarian trade exhibition held in Nigeria. A report from a British representative in Lagos notes that the event had been well attended, but that it was unlikely that many of the attendees had been seriously interested in buying. The fair had been well organised, with serious potential buyers being taken to separate areas to negotiate with Hungarian officials. The report notes that although the two countries had a trade agreement dating from 1963, the state of Nigerian politics meant that enterprises were cautious about making large capital investments in the country. The report also lists exhibitioners at the fair, with details of the products that they were demonstrating.
