Brazilian vice-president arrives Nigeria for strategic dialogue
Brazilian Vice-President Geraldo Alckmin and his wife, Maria Alckmin, arrived in Nigeria on Tuesday for the commencement of the second session of the Nigeria-Brazil Strategic Dialogue Mechanism.
Upon arrival at the presidential wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, the delegation was received by the deputy chief of staff to the president, Ibrahim Hadejia, and trade minister Jumoke Oduwole.
It is expected to yield significant policy breakthroughs across multiple sectors.
Speaking at a brief reception at the airport, Mr Hadejia described the visit as “a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda”.
He noted the strategic importance of deepening ties with Brazil.
“This dialogue mechanism represents our commitment to leveraging South-South partnerships that deliver tangible benefits to our citizens.
“Brazil’s expertise in agribusiness, energy transition, and industrial development aligns perfectly with Nigeria’s transformation priorities and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu,” the minister said.
The three-day summit will culminate in the signing of over 30 memoranda of understanding across critical sectors.
The sectors include defence cooperation, agricultural technology transfer, energy collaboration, and cultural exchange programmes.
