India sets up Apparel Training Centre in Nigeria

The department of commerce of the Indian government has set up an Apparel Training Centre in Nigerian city of Kaduna under its Cotton Technical Assistance Programme (Cotton TAP).

The centre, first of its kind in Nigeria, has been established in partnership with the Nigerian government for promoting skill development in apparel manufacturing. It was inaugurated recently under the 2^nd India Africa Forum Summit.

The centre is aimed to support and catalyse the initiative of the Government of Nigeria in realising the objectives to rebuild the cotton textile value chain and address the need for skilled workforce for domestic as well export-oriented apparel industry in the west African region, said MK Dwivedi, joint secretary in the department of commerce.

At the Textile and Garment Manufacturing Conference recently organised by Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) 2016 in Lagos, Nigerian minister of state for industry, trade and investment Aisha Abubakar announced plans to create a production hub and offer tax incentives to revive the cotton, textile and garment (CTG) industry for sustainable economic development.

Nigeria's textiles industry is virtually tottering under the onslaught of cheap imports and smuggled clothing. Measures to stimulate growth in the industry include tax incentives, harmonised tax structure, infrastructural development and financing, as well as creation of a production hub for cotton industry and Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) sector.

Abubakar said that the government would continue to create an enabling environment to promote the ease of doing business and active participation of the private sector to boost production.

印度在尼日利亚创建服装培训中心

根据棉花技术援助项目(Cotton TAP)，印度政府商务部已经在尼日利亚城市卡杜纳设立了一个服装培训中心。

该中心首次出现在尼日利亚,由尼日利亚政府合作促进服装制造业技能的发展。在最近举行的第二届印度非洲论坛峰会上开幕。

商务部联合秘书MK Dwivedi说，中心目的是支持和催化尼日利亚政府的计划实现重建棉花纺织价值链的目标，以及处理国内以及西非地区出口导向型服装行业需要熟练员工的问题。

最近在拉各斯由非洲时装周尼日利亚(AFWN)2016组织的纺织品和服装生产会议上,尼日利亚行业、贸易和投资部长Aisha Abubakar宣布计划创建一个生产中心,并提供税收优惠以重振棉花和纺织服装行业（CTG）来推动经济的可持续发展。

尼日利亚纺织行业在廉价的进口和走私服装的冲击下几乎摇摇欲坠。该措施将刺激行业增长，包括税收优惠、统一的税收结构、基础设施建设和融资以及建立一个棉花产业和信息的生产中心,通信技术(ICT)部门。

Abubakar说，政府将继续创造有利环境来促进做生意的简化以及私人部门的积极参与来提高产量。
