the, this is our c, exclusively, and my guest today is doctor more days is the founder and ceo of the center for the promotion of tri face enterprises. also, the immediate past are to general illegals to both of us and industries. thank you very much for your time. talk to you soon. thanks for talking to us as

a policy. thank you very much. my pleasure to go straight into talk to you soon. could you provide an analysis of the current economic times between russia and nigeria, highlighting these specific sectors where collaboration has the most impactful potential areas for, for the developments. what the church between that did on russia has not been that's great down so, but a oh by the yes. to get that the, the, the volume o by the change has been anywhere between $5.00 to $2000000000.00 us dollars, which is way too low. and the key, the, to the sofa. i live in the off in the g products, particularly what this one of pigeon on for goes from russia. a console experts is lazley. indeed off i'd be, i'd be k products. we inputs

a lots of weeds and greens from russia and the by the way, way very be cause of my of this it is grants because we used they both last april, 4th we for bread as or so the market for this is a very huge i know exports many hours so i course what i put us, you know, cool, cool be is cool, but gushing laws and things like that. so basically that's, is that correct? uh, both treat sofa and the few or maybe services in port on this part of what was was were kind of do a lot more down. and that brings me to my next question. there's been a couple of rush advocates on how can we improve on the level of trade and corporation because there's definitely potential to do more. yeah, to put that as, as huge. as you know, uh, as a country you have very sweets in for us up to different seats. and the, if we was,

you know, a scalable productivity, our competitiveness as an economy. i would need a lot more investment in infrastructure. so that's a huge room for cooperation. indeed, elf infrastructure investments. i'm talking now about russia and investing. i saw 14 mazda and data of infrastructure they did with a juggle to in the past, and the minimum smells have come to you. why didn't we see more for that type of a corporation? whereas i think these are political on global knowledge of issues. i think we have not been very consistent in the way we manage this processes. so what do we need to do? an l 5 is to be more cost expense and more inc. this or not so seen in this process . because as you holding lots to be, especially now that as a lot of jo, political issues as globally at all sides,

very strong in the area of infrastructure, it'd be, have been strong concrete. this is indeed a technology indeed of i don't see, lots is like that and this is nothing we have to, i really need to support a new growth of the equipment. so that's a lot or full for cooperation. indeed, of energy in the marketing for us to act on development. and even indeed, if i go to the developments, because we have lives in no, mostly resign eclipse without any land land or so on, so forth. so that's the most we can learn. and that's what the developing capacity to grow. i've clicked drastic that also uses as we entered into the new year. on the 1st of january, 5 new countries joined the bricks. group of countries at the nigerian governments has expressed interest in joining the brakes at this point. 40, can you elaborate on the specific economic sectors that cruise substantially

benefits from fix memberships? and how does this align with nigeria is pull the economic goes, is it a win win situation is a win win situation? uh 1st uh, it looked all sectors with benefits. uh our land got sick to uh, take no logistics so oh i go to the 6. 0, oh uh so let me when i 6 i didn't and i me, oh infrastructure. because uh for an economic infrastructure was mostly ever said, no, there is no way you can improve your productivity. yes. and the economy and the platform where if you're unable to scale your investments, you need to have infrastructure. so impact to kind of or legally as that output chances. gabriel, the kind of member i see that the big house you know, got broken off and i really imagine the economy is on need to get. so the prospects of collaboration and possibilities of alignment is quite disquieting,

almost. you know, people, the kind of that of, of those who end up members. and of course, it also has those who has a very important and vital task of jew police quite an influence. you know, because if you belong to that kind of block, that's a whole lot of opportunities. it gives you thousands of members. yes, yes ma'am bus anymore. nobody. so that's really that issues, at least you knew that you'd belong to the very powerful group. that's time. that council part to, and of course, the big those will have to reduce the west time domain as denied because i mean broken out, but it's, you know, balance in the loop, outward or diagnose of power that so if you as, as multiple a will exactly boost is also i also necessary for the stability of the global economics. so definitely for lots of benefits of the member as you know by left side of our listeners is among the members of the brakes and the collective

interest that also protect it. not, not do it to quite some time before it expressed is within this and to join the brakes. and this is a strategic move. what critical considerations and compassion, diplomatic economic geo political aspects. should nigeria ss as it's actively pursue as membership of the big screw? do think the government has done its homework and is ready to forget what they choose. these thoughts very clear yet would that enough homework has been done as well. it's actually motto, generally, i fancy for you know, uh the impacts of any diplomatic. i mean that is a function of your own interest. you know, is a function of having a win win situation. it shows, sheets have to be more twilight beneficiary,

you know. so that's corpus you for was be there, you know, and i believe that's i've been named best of peaks, will create that kind of opportunities between the idea that i'm in by so which and also the team that did a and then and by luckily now with russia and lots of opportunities a what, what this importance is to ensure that you see when, when initial shift i something that i asked this question based on the current balance is basically we ounces and the world gun that was removed from the africa, growth and opportunities ask by the united states because of the at and t j those that things do. you do things that you don't have to know mc benefits might be tied to that school post trains within the brakes. a membership, as we've all seen, some of this functionalities in the west. yes, uh, within the big number she,

we are likely to see a more libra task in terms of what to do. and we are likely to see lots more feeder, you know, full conscious unlimited. you notice the fall, so you know, you suck balls, type in what you can do, what i don't know if that's so, i mean, nobody 4 bits or 5 that's additional not advantage. do you on what you have with the relationship with the width, you know, guy looking at with 10 is to show us some of these quantities in width. then look, all strings i pass, you know, to relational and she was video solving. yes, yes, i'm going to yeah, i mean, why does it sound what happens? we need it desperately to get some weird warehouse, you know, from the west and there are all sorts of problems on one of these shows. i know that we submitted extremely difficult. meanwhile,

the situation was that you ought to think what i'm thinking of. i was there a way hudson is a russian now. yes. that's what options. so decided kind of costs vince. no, that's in fees when, when you belong to, you know, some of this west west, i'm going back to canada initially, but i don't think that kind of tylen this will exist within the, within the plates from one another. things have a $10.00 eyes ation as being a buzz worked in the last few years. the world is looking to was approaching all the conferences as for global transaction, it's quite a complex policy shift. can you please delve into specific measures and strategies? 9 jewish and consider to be expecting me. navigate this transition, given the continuance full of the not right is the us dollars and will not you enjoyed in the books? good help. the virus that lies will gain strength in any way. what it

will have, it will have to defend that's with me on by to for beats riley to see him once a bit, the by lines of payment will cease is because uh, the sense of the coin seat is a function of how heavy a balance of payment was showing is on the balance of payment for this one. and so as a function of the incentives, not change anything as natalie associates, if with the brakes uh, fulfilling we have multiple times and thousands of miles off to the change in nation while she's more than the brad 2000 on up. that's well by myself in naples this one is naturally to improve. i need to, i think that's when in fact, when i couldn't, you know, see more flaw of who's on services. i'm more than what actually i like to see and improve the flow of a, of copy that, you know from some of this, or that point is when i do that. but we'll see investment and that was for new

investments or forwarding data to investment decided things that's went into the equations as far as this one. well, that's and see if any complex one as, as we have said, because uh, the concept of like this one is supposed to be a function of how in libra countries, how open the columbus and how don't mean that they are going on. it's, you know, as a function of the, the call on the experience of the members. and i don't know of cause that vicks as are 20 to, to be the contribution of the links to the global economy was about, that's 2 percent of the globe. i did the p uh, the contribution of the g 7 quantities was about $0.50. so brings has, that's, that's, that's mostly that the economy by any to be able to for the head. we do come up corners, but the issue is we still have the corner of the seas i'm going to adopt you know, so both that because the members how to guide into leslie, the solvency and as team issues about openness will be in the gladly put on his

within brakes, i've seen that shot liberalization. all of these factors will come into play out where you come to this issue of velocity so, so that's what i say is a fairly complex complex, much the conflict to new cranes so will enter its 3rd year during this time, much as happened. and many predictions made western and rhetoric has also changed a lot from russia is losing to ukraine, has already one and 2 biden's as long as we can. rhetoric doesn't change the reality on the ground. no, given the ever changing global economic landscape. and looking at non jews, economic position. now i know you don't have a crystal ball in front of you,

but we just turn the clock into a new. yeah. could you offer an analysis of the factors shaping matches? economic outlook for 2024, including potential challenges and opportunities that exist well the is that's will ship the economic outlook for 20 to info. i essentially our quotes on duty phones, the economically form that equipment that musician has been for swing of that scene . so immediately phones in the area of oil and gas, we decide on the 1st subsidies without seeing the pendulum industry acts, which is meant to promote this, this on 50, more on the see if that point is empowerment for investments in oil and gas sector . and as you know, we have huge ease as in gas. so i know if i what are the biggest reserves indeed

over guys or so quite naturally on time. yes. and quite man impact email. so uh, the funds are likely to open up that fits, you know, as, as little as, you know, crude or ad domestically final fixing on for those. so, and, and so forth. so that's, we impact the outcome in 2024. now of course, we also have the forwarding message policy and a phone call by this sort of the as to the liberalization of the for the next. and the environments definitely also have a very big positive impact for the this, the funds i've had a very serious advisor additional associated. that's what the cost of living in. so satellites cause provide, see, that's what a lot of has she well going forward as he's probably lies with go through the facts and actually as new drugs to the realities or grocery phones. i'm to tennessee, we have continued to, to get better. but my view is that's or the shocks,

economic shows that connect, that has to be 23. i'm more likely to repeat themselves. we're likely to see the results of this before where i live to see data. these are those reforms. so that is why i feel that the outlook is a lot more positive. okay, now what do i didn't intend to use if expanded in the, on the strength and economic ties with russia and your last submission? we talked about the gas oil and gas times and it might do it as much as one of the biggest gas explosives and what have you guys of expertise in this a, what specific sectors do you think the countries can collaborate to jude? i'm all social economic impacts for both nations beyond point, i guess we're all on this is key. do you wish to we on this back to you beyond it? but the truth is that the resourcing from orlando is what's with form the p less

well for the deaf education of the columbia. the p last probably wouldn't be within the 1st structure. so it was 2 miles in that is because we, me, is very critical of cause issues of technology to a laptop that by the i have enough to effect up. we started with i in the eighty's to the early ninety's, but somehow you dropped the ball. you know, is something that you kindly visits the most with outcome viewed the very strong i own sector because you can move towards industrialize is yes, yes, because, and i see is that it because it doesn't go transition. i've been talking about developing our tween grocery funding sounds develop, you know, it goes drastically. that is solely our last to base. cannot do that because structural effect will faster for development. hello. this is add dependents on these slowly out, assuming those kind of benefits the most from russia. and then also, you know, i go to the effect of the sector. i see the mode is trying to solve to map,

you know, we have to look live isn't technology enough. know, i put drastic to alpha population that is going this fast. know that's one that we cannot continue to depend on this technician on this. so if i can quote, to, to solve parts of our food security. yeah. aspirations, i know i go, i lied industrial development. so it was, we kind of benefit the loss from russia in the old, you know, security not because the last 6 i lived 18 months, it's on the, the best is that lots has happened joe, politically, the last a few years. it's almost some people say we're back to coldwell politics, east versus west. as africans. how do we will fire to she going in, in determining who to business? we do our friends because sometimes when you have a friendly relationship with the east,

the west tends to from that to that. why are you doing business with people? and the 60, as most independent is, i mean, most often countries have come of age in doing business with the rest of the world . what should african nations, especially at nigeria, and look out for what she looked at for our interest, the interest or fi icon on the inside. so for our people and the, the level of the degree of what's well expects that, that exists in any particular relationship. the thing that is most more inputs and then talking about, you know, i, that we are to your last 2 particular book. so what the sentra is photos will have a very clear understanding of once we, once we'll have a clear definition of what's our interest model and says off in the we do as well, the interests of the country. so i think decided to invest with sheet. i wanted to

see, so as far as this dual political environment is concerned, not talk to you soon. not jude rushes had the financial relationships for quite some time. and you did mention in the beginning of this interview that the level of trade at is potential for more. it is quite pull at this moment. what factors you think are responsible for that? and what are some of the challenges that local businesses and find investors face in the context of improving an investment, improving the relationship and seeking investments from both sides. what, what does impact task in these information? we need to be more bullish on both sides in getting the information onto opportunities that exist. so, and that's really why i, that's a, you know, the, the embassies on both sides who have very strong cheat office. you know, that's,

we make information on that village. you know that we sensitize the business because fitness, essentially, between business people. so that's, that's, that's the position creation of when is a beautiful community that they've used. i think that it's also investigated critical and also providing the message resource worksheet infrastructure. you know, i, the problem, i think guys ease of movement, ease of access to a visa, you know, those also lots of puts also very critical in addition to providing you that that's kind of information on time. the information that he guides invest or then we need to spence in if you nice yes, the steps of buying that to them so that you kind of have a lot of supports. maybe i'll be mixing back. usually i think was we'll have the rush and eggs inbox a couple based supports on both sides, the pricing that they checked in the side of things that that needs to be done. now,

finally talk to you soon. if there's an in columbus, i'm looking into the future. what does my do it need to do to make this country attractive for investments? you where the media costs of directed, you know, the labels, chamber of commerce and industries. you buyers with all the countries. you'll like to implement so you have this experience in knowing the polls as knowing what investors are looking for and what are the advantages that nigeria has at the moment of what can we do policy wise to attract this investments? what now jeanette has the advantage or size of population of markets and also have the advantage of our demographics. you have very young population. that's a very big advantage. any d as far as an economic cremation services across up. so we have that. we also have

the resources which i had largely on tapped to decide huge opportunities. what to see what times i just will know. but as a country is to ensure that we create the lat kind of my quick. when i make environments, no doesn't make it easy for investors to come in and out. and so that you have more liquidity now for the listings environments, you have a policy environment that has very trust plants. we have policies that, that co assistance and do have new incentives for goose. well, for me to invest. well, no, this is at critical for building investors coffee. this was able to do that, i think would be able to do a lot more. and that's what websites in investment most was to us. we'd be a lot of money. you know, if the file size in the development of the infrastructure, you know, because it pulls into investments. it's also about the infrastructure. as some of

this nation's got any more samples to develop the infrastructure. so it's india nibbling environments, my quick comic and bottom. it's in plastic will cost as your policy appropriate to glitch environments. this extremely, very important. thank you for your time and exits and stuff. so thank you very soon . thank you very much. so there's a pleasure speaking to awesome. thank. thank you very much. the every spring and summer, the melting optics move reveals a band and machinery, millions of rusty barrels, and the detritus left by human expansion into this most inaccessible of territories . yes, i used to move, so take up on both of us to put some new doors. at the post to be done as an issue

to us from clean optic travels the highest island home to the biggest opponent station on the front of joseph land occupied a go really asked me for i was my was are more you have to do should. so it means if you have, when you feel when we see lots of money and i'm familiar with this, so i'm gonna stay on the old stuff last time. i feel like i'm a former student on the to me is. and i must have when you to but i've got the serial no boys of the middle of police to join me instead of the optic pioneers main objective was to explore and comcast of these harsh lands. they had no time to think about waste management now and, and then i guess they could remain for centuries just my of my choice of so it's pretty at the course your system is the one you have to go. but the team could have to deal with the issue the,
