The meeting, which was also attended by Nigeria’s Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, centred on expanding cooperation across critical sectors including agribusiness, industrialisation, healthcare, renewable energy, and cultural exchange.
President Tinubu, in a statement shared on his X handle, described the engagement as a reaffirmation of the “enduring ties between Nigeria and Brazil, two diverse democracies linked by shared values, historical connections, and a common ambition for inclusive, people-driven growth.”
A major highlight of the talks was the $1 billion Green Imperative Programme, a joint agricultural mechanisation initiative spearheaded by Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security in collaboration with Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and private sector partners.
“The Green Imperative Programme stands as a flagship of this renewed partnership,” President Tinubu said.
