In a bold move, a Nigerian entrepreneur’s arrival on Air Peace’s inaugural flight to Antigua has sparked discussions about establishing a pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.
Focused on crafting medicines for chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes, this venture holds vast potential, given the Caribbean’s high prevalence of such conditions.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne expressed enthusiasm, underscoring the need for enhanced Caribbean-Africa relations.
Air Peace’s plans to launch direct commercial flights between Antigua and Nigeria further solidify this collaboration, with Antigua set to become a hub for expanded travel.
The proposed partnership signals a transformative stride in healthcare, trade, and connectivity.
