Speaking from Lagos where he is leading the first ever Enterprise Ireland trade mission to Nigeria, Minister Costello said: "As part of the first major trade mission to Nigeria, I am delighted to officially open the Chevron Technical training facility in Lagos and welcome the partnership that has been established with ETIWA.

"Ireland has a strong international reputation as a centre of quality education and training which is a good match for the needs of Nigeria's growing economy. I believe that this partnership will flourish and contribute in a very real way to supplying skilled workers to the Nigerian economy."
