Tinubu says Nigeria will fast-track trade, aviation agreements with Brazil

President Bola Tinubu says his government will streamline technicalities and fast-track agreements between Nigeria and Brazil covering trade, aviation, energy transition, food and agricultural development, and many more.

In a statement , Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on information and strategy to the president, said he spoke in a bilateral meeting held at the Copacabana Forte with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Tinubu also told Silva that the economic reforms Nigeria is undergoing under his administration will boost the country’s global competitiveness, particularly in the agriculture sector.

According to the president, bureaucracy contributes to delays in realising the agricultural sector’s potential.

However, he assured that all bottlenecks hindering the realisation of the agricultural sector’s potential, including livestock production, will be removed to enable food sovereignty and export.

“The President informed the Brazilian leader and delegation that Nigeria was already undergoing reforms to reposition the economy for global competitiveness, particularly in agriculture, where it already has a competitive advantage,” the statement said.

“President Tinubu stated that all technicalities in agreements between the two countries will be streamlined and fast-tracked in trade, aviation, energy transition, food and agricultural development, mining, and natural resources exploration.

“The President stated that Brazil’s research and development services had been exemplary for most countries, with the country being one of the highest producers of food and agricultural products.

“On livestock farming, President Tinubu highlighted the efforts of his administration to boost investments in poultry, cattle rearing, and fisheries, adding that the blue economy also holds potential for long-term partnerships between Nigeria and Brazil.

“He said Nigeria was ready for a strong partnership and immediate action to stimulate food production.

“The President said the subnationals have a pivotal role in food and animal production in Nigeria by complementing the federal government’s efforts to use agriculture as a significant source of employment and resource mobilisation.”

On May 7, Nigeria and Brazil set up a joint team to finalise a direct flight agreement, eight months after talks relating to a bilateral air service agreement (BASA) commenced.
