A Northern group, Arewa Think Tank (ATT), yesterday lauded President Bola Tinubu’s recent meeting with his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva.
The group expressed optimism that the engagement between both leaders will boost agricultural development in Nigeria, after the Nigerian leader vowed to clear all impediments to the sector’s growth.
ATT disclosed this in a statement signed by its Convener, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu.
In another development, the group also commended the federal government for declining US President Donald Trump’s request to accept Venezuelan deportees.
AAT pointed out that Nigeria had enough of its own challenges to contend with.
At the bilateral meeting between Tinubu and Lula held at the Copacabana Forte, alongside some members of both countries’ cabinets, Tinubu noted that bureaucracy contributes to delays in realising the agricultural sector’s potential in Nigeria.
