<p>UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) carries out an in-depth assessment of its overall
impact each quarter via the Performance Impact Monitoring Survey (PIMS). Generic assessments
of specific sectors are carried out externally on behalf of UKTI. The business impact
of individual services and activities is also monitored by the teams delivering them.</p><p>
</p><p>UKTI delivers a range of services in relation to Nigeria in the sectors specified,
both bespoke services for individual companies and broader activities. These are in
line with sector strategies for the market. Some recent examples include a financial
services mission to Nigeria in March organised by UKTI, in partnership with Nigerian
Diaspora individuals working in the City of London. Also in March, UKTI Nigeria worked
with UK and Nigerian stakeholders to deliver an SME event in Lagos focused on creative
industries. This was followed in early April by a videoconference between UK and Nigerian
companies engaged in fashion retail. UKTI was also involved in a local education event
in Lagos in early April during which Nigerian requirements were successfully matched
to UK companies offering relevant expertise.</p><p> </p><p>All participants who commented
on these events reported that they found their participation useful. All have identified
follow up actions and UKTI will be monitoring successes which ensue.</p>
