Mrs. Janet Omoleegho Olisa, Nigerian High Commissioner to Belize
"Nigeria Belize is a very important relationship for us. In the sense that we are one people that have passed over the centuries of movement to the transatlantic. We are grateful for the ability to reconnect. Nigeria Belize has further ensured through a technical agreement which allows Nigeria to provide technical assistance to Belize in whatever field, area, or sector the Belize Government chooses."

"We also have the possibility of expanding the program. We are also seeing how we could benefit. For example, Belize has a fantastic Banana Plantation which we would like to see how we can grow banana in the same way. This is a part of cooperation as the ACP countries. We also need to see how we can have a bilateral relationship that further enhances our programs that are of mutual benefit."

Olisa is resident in Kingston, Jamaica but as commissioner to Belize, she plans to be present and active in positive relations with Belize.
