尼日利亚-美国商会（NACC）对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署《2027年持续拨款与延期法案》表示欢迎。该法案将《非洲增长与机遇法案》（AGOA）的有效期延长至2028年12月31日。\n\n该立法保留了尼日利亚和其他31个撒哈拉以南非洲国家对美国市场的免关税准入资格，为该地区的企业在规划投资、生产和出口时提供了更高的确定性。\n\n该法案在美国参议院以90票对6票、众议院以340票对54票获得通过。\n\nNACC赞扬了特朗普总统、美国国会（特别是众议员Jason Smith和参议员Raphael Warnock）以及非洲联盟为持续支持AGOA所做出的不懈努力。\n\nNACC全国会长Alhaji Sheriff Balogun通过副会长Ehi Braimah发表声明称，此次延期为尼日利亚巩固出口基础、吸引新投资提供了宝贵的机遇。\n\n这次延期赋予了尼日利亚投资和扩大出口所需的确定性。但我们必须利用这28个月的时间，实现超越石油的发展。尼日利亚是AGOA的第二大受益国，但我们对其利用不足。我们需要实现多元化，进军我们真正具有优势的农产品、纺织品、加工食品和制造业领域。\n\n该商会强调，此次延期应被视为尼日利亚解决结构性挑战的一个契机，这些挑战此前限制了该国充分利用美国市场优惠准入政策的能力。

原文原文 / Original Text

The Nigerian-American Chamber of Commerce, NACC, has welcomed the signing by United States President Donald Trump of the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, which extends the African Growth and Opportunity Act, AGOA, through December 31, 2028.

The legislation preserves duty-free access to the United States market for Nigeria and 31 other sub-Saharan African countries, providing businesses across the region with greater certainty as they plan investments, production and exports.

The measure passed the US Senate by 90 votes to six and the House of Representatives by 340 votes to 54.

NACC commended President Trump, the US Congress, particularly Congressman Jason Smith and Senator Raphael Warnock, as well as the African Union, for their sustained engagement in support of the continuation of AGOA.

NACC's National President, Alhaji Sheriff Balogun, in a statement by the Deputy President, Ehi Braimah, said the extension presents Nigeria with a valuable opportunity to strengthen its export base and attract new investment.

"This extension gives Nigeria the certainty needed to invest and expand our exports. But we must use these 28 months to move beyond oil. Nigeria is the second-largest AGOA beneficiary, yet we're underutilising it. We need to diversify into agricultural products, textiles, processed foods and manufactures where we have real advantage."

The Chamber stressed that the extension should be viewed as an opportunity for Nigeria to address the structural challenges that have limited the country's ability to take full advantage of preferential access to the US market.
