it was not completed. so for us, a vice president really explored the possibility of getting the cooperation of russia to come and had a substitute distill company. it complex, the biggest i can see in africa, which was almost 9 to 6 percent completed several years ago. but still remains money, but because of the little pump that has to be that we're seeing that the washer has a competitive advantage because there was a company to approach export that constructed. that complex has the template and they come with this a part of the ocean government. we believe that they can assist magic to do this. us attempt is launch that data into the industry. and what, what does this put to agreement is which you as, um, we did not sign any new agreements that were already previous agreements that were

assigned, which we are following up on them. the most important thing is to see how we could increase our trade volume between that data and russia. how we could increase educational, scientific and technical cooperation, so that we can different because trenton and the pin our corporation for the motel benefit of both countries. we're looking for possibilities of companies as the russia has problem, is during the summer that russian companies are willing to come to africa measure that is the largest economy in africa. it has the largest population and therefore it has the largest market. it has. i'm pull up what communities for investment. what portion companies need to do is to understand that you cannot assess and it kind of make it rather than from alpha. you need to come on the ground to as soon as i face. what is that of for you?

to take advantage of, so i'm on the cutting jump on it because it was in that a lot of post as with respect to trip type is important. where and kind of didn't flip between our 2 countries. but beyond clip, we need to look at concrete investment, meaning that we should invest such a look and as ition of production of goods and services because of the distance between the julia and russia and because of the obstacles and in, in trade in activities the logistic trans, i've been affected, i think the best option is localization of production. so we wish that the russian companies were close to that, that as a possibility. and they have the most benefits to die from that if they're taking that option. as you know, we have the african continental trip agreement area that was site which provides the show too much it and into $54.00 countries of africa

a legit it is. the good way to get to all the african, mike, it's getting all the success with that is in manifesto in a way that is in industrial development as to, etc, etc. there was a representative from nigeria again at the rush africa summit. and they mentioned about acquiring russian technologies in particular that were interested in that when it comes to the oil and gas sector. uh, is there any progress in that aspect? the potentials we haven't many, we have given them choose until as what do you want us to do. that meant for to come in upgrade discussion. you see that nothing happens. as he stated during the summer that i'm putting up with teenagers in the area, of course, i guess, as you know, legina is one of the legislative produces in africa. i'm, we have a whole gas, it dissolves them petroleum plan. so that a good potential cooperation between nadia and russia and russian companies need to

explore this possibility. the 2nd area of the important cooperation is in the area of mine. it will go to share has a minute as measured at, in particular how strategic made us that can hit. what do we need in this sick? those is pick of knowledge. a kid, we need to transfer the technology or to bring technology in such a way that it comes to boost our minimum exploration of x partition. the top import an area is the area of agriculture. you know, that would, over 250000000 people. we need to produce food to feed us us and the russia is one of the largest would produce as they have used technology to do. so we want to leverage all the all experience and technology in this area so that we can improve agriculture to increase production to sustain our population. as you would know that it is very, very important thing. come on for peace and stability to. there is also some what

are the risks involved for nigeria for talk about anti russian sanctions imposed by the wes? does that affect the trade between the 2 countries in any way? so from what you've noticed in the last couple of years and moving forward in the future, the sun shows is that it's a double. it's what it affects everybody. a quarter of 6, the present imposing decided shows as well as the present on whom differentials is composed, as well as the cannot develop them as on those. but socials, i'm not impose, let me give you an example. would be cut off in logistics chains. we can move goods from russia to, to africa, with the cut off from the swift system. we can close that business, which it, financial transactions cannot be cutting out. i'm that i'm any other things that

have co sent this relationship. we hope that this situation will improve sooner than later, so that we can normalize our initials to, to maximize the benefits of international trip. if we can go back a little bit and talk about agriculture a little bit more when it comes to grain supplies. we know that russia niger, i have made progress when it comes to that. can you give us more details regarding supplies from russia to nigeria when it comes to grain? well, i don't have the f chose that districts as a no, but i know that in the past and i did, i used to import from wait for them, but i should. i'm important with for the side does not mean that it was not. that was the only so snow. we also used to import weed from other countries. i'm over this and we have introduced a new i'm going to go to the policy that encourages look kind of production of width of the agricultural products. you may recall that in the past,

it is measure that close. it's bored is i'm encourage, look at the production of food, and that is why it'd be good to nigeria. now, the look colorize is more popular than any important race that or the areas of local in the visuals that we have introduced, that is helping to boost the economy. in particular, the agricultural sector. as of us have got summit, the director of the russian of federal service submitted survey technical cooperation, said that nigeria is interested in acquiring russian fighter jets, including, i'm not sure if you're aware, including the 5th generation checkmates. and i would like to ask you how i, how do you sing corporation in terms of military, technological uh, corporation can happen between russia and nigeria. well, i didn't know where he got the information regarding the specific cut where that is sort of crap. but i know that we have

a subs vista in military taking the kind of cooperation agreement with the russian for the nation, which we signed in august 2010 to what we how watching out the mortality is for the implementation of that agreement. because that agreement is to assist as in many areas, not clearly in hardware, but also indicated of printing. so this is something that is ongoing and is on the table and the way i promote. but in terms of concrete, we order this amounts of fighter draft. so you don't have information on that, we don't have to go to the newspaper to tell you we. busy have for that, go good. try padgett's or not. and we're on the 5 pages. how are you going to give us? no, i mean in terms of how the bull they deliver it is when there's a will, there is a way this is a all right? absolutely. is there a well, that is i will certainly do that was will, will we can not sign. i agree with that. you say very strong willed archer. i'm

this i things that i've been negotiated between uh, military security to your daughter. just let's talk a little bit about uh, nigeria has internal affairs is uh, for example, the united states has accused nigeria of severe violations when it comes to religious freedom. there was an annual reports that they released the annual reports of the us commission on international religious freedom. it was published this april 2023. what is your assessment? and i and then i drew in governments assessment of america's points of view on nigeria as internal affairs, when it comes to religious freedom. for example, we know that the united states, they like to have an opinion on what happens in other countries. how do you view this opinion? the issue of human rights abuses has been on the table for law and legit has actively been involved. i do not. the admission was liberal in promoting genuine

human rights. so for another country to say, this is what up this and that julia, i have to see. did it put before i can see where that is true or not with respect to this specific issue of america, i have nothing to comment about america does. this is, this is the policy i'm talking about legit as policy and i can always talk about this policy that you, that is one of the yes. so scientists into what, what in terms of what i've just practices and in terms of media practices, it was as open as this white paper. you, i hold it, we have a human rights commission that produces an unloaded report regarding human rights infringement. imagine you, i'm did you put is presented to the problem and presented to the public and everybody can see my opinion is too light on is to give you the correct perspective of what up turns. in that julia, we have is significant policy or strategy autonomy as far as we are close on,

we have an independent policy within the line. but we've done this engage with any conflict that we kind of benefits. how easy or difficult is it these days to be non aligned? you know, i'm sure everyone is dragging, trying to drag every country to their side. i seem to know that is beauty is strategic or telling me the beauty and start judging or telling me is that you can black from the side and black from the site. so you can maximize your own benefits . identify your specific measurement of interest is that it can give you uh, implants from dealing with him. it was the beek of give you find a way to do that is what we, what i mean by strategic autonomy, different policy or objectives of measuring. i'm very, very clear. i'm the based on our specific national interest, which is to promote that is to kind of make social and political interest in the

world and to deepen an instant, an international peace and security to collaboration with other countries of being an active bishop. when it comes to peace and security and so with that, russia can help again, going back to militarily speaking, it all depends. you see, i have to do that. the, the military technical cooperation agreement has different and components is not, does the equipment we applicant about it involves advisory services. it involves also extent of saying and capacity building based on meats. when, if i measured at the time, means that it's meats can be made by our osha and i did, i will approach it will show within the framework of that agreement. that is the purpose of that i agree with, but other id plans of the moments and the discussions regarding that corporation. as far as we are close and we know that we have

a particular kind of electrical pollution that we're working. do mortality for implementation based on one interest what we went to actually if we heard that i'm not, jerry and senator made a proposal to bring all of luxurious for an exchange reserves that when deposited in western banks back into the country so that so all nigeria as for an exchange reserves were brought back into the country. is that a popular opinion of popular thoughts and nigeria or not is the only completed manages for it is as the company has, is for the reserves. what few specific where that is of admin, what could i see if he was, i am not aware, but as a matter of fact, we are keeping our exams web and we feel the safe web. we will try to build on it as, as based on how i look at a production and trade corporation with other countries into what, what's the main priority right now when it comes to nigeria is fine policy. we'll

just say now the new administration in nigeria has a number a bit, a foreign policy that will be guided by for these. these are the key components. the tools that will be at you would that, that will be used in achieving our foreign policy. of the 1st one is democracy. now did as sees himself as a modem. democracy, which tablets democracy for over 2 tickets now. we have said such as fund, that's that we can vouch that is we have a model for democracy. i'm one of the priorities of the president is to protect and put them. what devil can i see in that data? and anyway, into what this look on for the other 2 is development, where i'm looking for ways i means by which we can improve our development

cooperation with all countries of the world and to see how our developmental objectives can be complimentary. i'm helpful to of the african countries and that is way, way important, but less in doing that in the implementation of the let, the admission of sustainable development goals. this have component of the d, which i talk to about is demographic by demographic. i have told you that i did, i has the largest population in africa, and you see, i just have excelled the hold is my project because it shows all over the world. so we have pro horton with respect to our demographic as sort of gender equality. i'm gender male s y given equal opportunities for everybody and we want to make use of our vice population to achieve good potentials in our foreign policy. the last tool in our foreign policy is the labs, a huge number of legit as in the desk for as you know we have it installed yes for

the organization in russia. i'm beacon just constructively, with the russian timber of gomez with musk, which i have come up with all businesses in russia. i'm to give that would be embassy sha, where it will to organize a big mission in november 2010 to $1.00 to nigeria. so this is the useful lives of a desk for that population. so you may be heading something called me don't rush. i need to know is that, is that, do that and does put a organization in the russia. i'm the corporate in the would be original body of need to and you know, what do we divide from this? we do that says from that him addresses the make but cool. it helps to boost the economy to the boot technology because some of them scored abroad, including here in russia, they met 1st class and technology and sciences. and we had missing desk. choose to

bring in a vision to nigeria. the also have been good with those of them who have been successful in businesses where encouraging them to invest, but i pool so that the front of me can be boosted, so the development of can be in house. so basically, our foreign policy objective is based on the welfare and the well being of an idea . it has, as well as promote an international peace and stability here in russia. i'm sure you've heard that as of the september. there are a certain public schools that sort of teach in african languages how to see that relations between russia, nigeria have evolved in the last couple of years. have you noticed any changes? i'm sure, for example, you couldn't imagine 5 years ago that public schools in russia would be teaching an african language like english. this is a welcome development. and the,

aside from that, i have not as start to strategic. uh uh, i was thinking if it goes in the number of scholarships a 5 digit has to come on study, you know, when this programs fight to do to into soviet union, we will have a less than 50 students coming upon them. but this, yeah, especially at the duration or to reduce have included unaware, touching within that is a $1150.00. i know at the moment we have more than 400, obviously to 5. and i did have students studying on that by letter of collection goodman. i know we have about a total of 2000 met, you know, students studying in various universities, the rest. so what i did do in the quite in technology because the involved in medical engineering and particular logic of sciences,

which will help in our development 2 years ago. we introduce an eps project where we exhibit, then i did them out to be a solution uh properly and this has been a welcome. we did that also during the 2nd summer consent because book many of those shows visited and they commended the initiative of introducing this is basically exchange of coach i at which is an important substitute for diplomacy. you have to send allowance a primary focus moving forward. let's imagine the world would do a political issues are resolved. yes. so we don't have those challenges there. what was, what should be the main primary focus when it comes to trade relations in particular between the 2 countries we're bringing consumable and room materials into, into,

into the ocean for the nation. with russia is exporting finish and industrial goods . we kind of continue at this level at the moment, but why do we need to compliment that is to the logical extensions. we need a transfer of technology. we need to as file skews so that we've kind of bw, look a domestic capacity to be able to process low materials into finished goods loaded . we contract with the restaurant or the countries uncompleted to business. is there something you can get from russia that you can get from other countries? i know that brush i has a lot of uh, products that i needed in that data and we went to encourage them to sell them to that, to them or the african. my kids ask them because you were saying how you need technologies and you weren't specifying of course, i was just wondering maybe these technologies, someone else could offer you those technologies instead of russia. and of course, the has to come into the competitive market. we have wisdom technologies or did you

imagine as you know, because we have long term relationship with the west. so the technology of the west is there. so erosion, companies come into that area. they have the ability to compete with. there were some technology. i'm people can choose between anyone, whether the ocean technology or the or something, but any of the 10 russian technologies competes with less from technologies they have to physically go is only when you go to the ground that you test the d test when you are doing that you know, the capacity way that you can do it on the former president introduce the law, got enabled states to build railway lines. and this was before the preserve of the national government. and now from what i understand this can improve logistical connectivity between countries and david, but to what extent can this help i will. this is one important step and i'll put in

an accident. it kind of me is not totally indicated over any way i can tell you that is one additional legislation with respect to power, you know, before the law assign. and janet is shown as a supplier of alexis, history, where they put a good deal of the for the government now and know has been put in place. that skips can also generated through private. god bless you, i didn't you meant. so this is opening up the legit economy coming back to the issue on when we come in with is an important thing that nigeria is focused on developing. i'm before the, the, the, for my present as you indicated before, he left the was the project that was initiated to have a little with from nigeria up to a neighboring country in the new general public debt project history. and i'm going and you know that apart from that, we also have

a gas projects putting a close hip in all the countries, especially on the echo as we have what we call the west african power pool. in other words, we can generate electricity essentially and distribute it to puerto. most of the it costs countries did vision a bright future where the growth in nigeria is economy can be as fast as china. as for example, i can not compare it with china, but i'm very of domestic that with the new policy agenda of the last i my beloved universe administration, we are very upset and listing that in the next one to 2 years, you will see 3 men just improvement internet genetic economy, do you have a number to it? play an agenda that prioritizes economy in all the way i do it? i'm here the, the administration is engaging constructively with or putnam us in the world to make sure that the economy of nigeria is improve the economy of an idea that is put

on it. but this them, that can compete with 5 that economists in the world. the government jim, on the very difficult to circumstances and the government has taken the most difficult is it shows it my duty, one of which was to withdraw it before the subsidy, which was an obstacle to menacing. the government also had to pick a very drastic decision to how much was the foreign exchange market 1st, the, now we have one single exchange that all this policy is uh, creating some backlash, which is normal for any policy in any country. but the government is the quote to the past and is developing a shock absorber. mitchell's, in order to mitigate the backlash that may be created for allies and from the implementation of this policy is hopefully the president mentioned 2 days ago that

to achieve a one really on the left. it kind of making that data is possible. how does these drastic changes come about? so i'm wondering why is it in the previous government or work on this, this government did? it's this. and as i can tell you, is not the doing well. i does with a 5 due to the ease of doing business initiative of the previous government, this or the government. this for december i p and is building on the active list of the previous government. and is it a spending to the needs of the international community? what the economy of the water was 4 years ago is love december to the what the proud it is, something that didn't government was 4 years ago may have change or so. so is based on the position of priorities, and that is why the, that point agenda of the president is focused on t issues t, this economy. i get it because the security and the promo to

this, the wellbeing of magine is in general. and from what i understand right now, your niger is very diplomatic friendly, pretty much with everyone. i would say writes on the international on mentioned national arena and hoping to keep it that way. we are absolutely friendly with every country we operate within the chapter over the united nations. we're corporate, but i left early on a month to let probably we are active members of the united nations that gina is an important driver in the operate organization. i imagine it is a lead in the country in the african union as well as because the the,
