Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday declared that Nigeria and Brazil had moved from dialogue to delivery and from agreement to implementation on their bilateral agriculture and livestock partnership.
This was as Brazil opened its market to Nigerian exports of hibiscus, sesame and shea butter.
Announcing this as the first tangible fruits of President Bola Tinubu’s state visit to Brazil last August, Shettima spoke during a High-Level Nigeria-Brazil Agro-Trade Market Access Milestone meeting at the State House, Abuja.
According to a statement signed on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima received the Brazilian delegation led by its Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, André Carlos Alves de Paula Filho, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Vice President who co-chairs the Nigeria-Brazil Strategic Dialogue Mechanism alongside his Brazilian counterpart, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, declared, “We have moved with deliberate steps from dialogue to delivery, from agreements to implementation, and from shared ambition to outcomes that can be counted, weighed and shipped.
