Global Links and Services Ltd Group, a leading IATA-certified travel, tours, and investment facilitation company, has announced a productive recent dialogue between its CEO, Rev. Mrs. Chinyere Umeasiegbu, and the newly appointed Namibian High Commissioner to Nigeria, H.E. Walde N. Ndevashiya. The discussion focused on building on the success of the Namibia-Delta Trade and Investment Summit held in October 2024, with both parties expressing enthusiasm for reciprocal initiatives in 2026 to further enhance bilateral economic opportunities.

The Namibia-Delta Trade and Investment Summit, organized by the Namibia High Commission in collaboration with Global Links & Services Ltd, the Coastal and Marine Areas Development Initiative (CMADI), and the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND), took place on October 30, 2024, at the PIND Economic Development Centre in Egbokodo Itsekiri, Warri, Delta State. Themed “Unlocking New Trade and Investment Opportunities,” the summit served as a high-level platform for stakeholders from Nigeria and Namibia to explore partnerships in key sectors including oil and gas, mining, agriculture, real estate, logistics, tourism, energy, natural resources, infrastructure, manufacturing, and the blue economy.

The event attracted prominent figures such as Delta State Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori (represented by Hon. Samuel Oligida, Commissioner for Trade and Investment), former Namibian High Commissioner H.E. Humphrey Geiseb, and industry leaders. Discussions highlighted Delta State’s investor-friendly policies, such as tax exemptions, free land allocations, and reduced bureaucratic hurdles, alongside Namibia’s untapped potential in mining, tourism, and bio-energy. Participants decried the historically low trade volumes between the two nations and emphasized the need for stronger continental collaboration to diversify economies beyond oil reliance. The summit fostered networking, shared success stories of Nigerian businesses in Namibia, and provided practical insights into regulatory frameworks, visa processes, and market entry strategies, ultimately catalyzing new partnerships and positioning both regions for sustainable growth.

Reflecting on the summit during the recent meeting, CEO Umeasiegbu noted its role in revitalizing Warri as a hub for international trade and investment.
High Commissioner Ndevashiya, who assumed his role in December 2025 and presented his letters of credence in January 2026, praised the summit’s impact and expressed eagerness to reciprocate with similar initiatives in Namibia this year.

Global Links & Services Ltd, under Umeasiegbu’s leadership, continues to drive such initiatives as part of its broader mission to facilitate international travel, pilgrimages, cruises, and trade exhibitions like the annual ‘IJE – Journeys Around the World’ event.
This ongoing partnership underscores Global Links & Services Ltd’s commitment to bridging African markets and promoting sustainable development. Stakeholders interested in upcoming Namibia-focused opportunities are encouraged to contact the company for more details.
