Obaseki noted: “I heartily congratulate you, Dele Kelvin Oye, on your inauguration as President of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (NACCIMA), which prides itself as ‘the voice of the Nigerian business.’
Oye, whose parents hail from Edo, has continued to distinguish himself, building a reputation for excellence in the world of commerce and business with a trac record that has set him apart from the crowd; true to type of a man with Edo heritage.
“From his stint as the Chairman of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) between 2008 and 2011 and the National Deputy President of NACCIMA and Chairman of the Nigeria-Turkey Business Council (NTBC), he has continued to deploy his over 33 years’ experience as a first-class lawyer and astute entrepreneur in advocating the interests of Nigerian businesses both locally and internationally.”

He added, “While the task ahead is daunting, I have no doubt that you will leverage your skills and wealth of experience in charting a new course for the next phase of growth for NACCIMA and advance the interests of Nigerian businesses and contribute to our nation’s economic growth and development.”
