President Tinubu in conversation with Brazilian Ambassador Carlos Jose Areias
President Tinubu said, “We have a long history of bilateral and cultural relations with Brazil. You must see Nigeria as your second home and explore the abundant economic opportunities in the country.
“I have been talking to some of my Brazilian friends concerning the prospects of investing in dairy farming in Nigeria. We are eager to push these investments forward.
“In my recent discussions with President Lula, we agreed to energize the economic development of our two countries, and I look forward to continuing that collaboration.”
On his part, the new Brazil Ambassador, Carlos Jose Areias, promised the President that he would work hard to improve the current economic ties between the two countries.
He stated that Africa and Nigeria are important to Brazil’s foreign relations.
“I am in a country similar to Brazil, and I feel very much at home here with the culture, music, and people of Nigeria.
“I will do whatever I can to improve Brazil-Nigeria relations. Ten years ago, the volume of trade between our two countries was in the region of $10 billion, and I will work hard to improve on the number.
“Africa is a top priority for President Lula and Nigeria is the most important country for us”, The Guardian quoted the Brazilian Ambassador.
