CEE Rector-naff

Naf..
I sincerely thank President Lula for the extraordinary warmth and honour he extended to me and my delegation, crowned by a truly memorable almoço at the Itamaraty Palace.

Our conversations were not mere protocol. They carried purpose and delivered action. Five MoUs in trade, aviation, science, finance, and diplomacy now chart a path from intentions to implementation for our two countries.

I welcome Petrobras’s potential return to Nigeria. This move will re-energise our oil and gas sector and unlock wider economic opportunities for our people.

From new direct flights between Nigeria and Brazil, knowledge transfer, to joint work in technology, food security, and clean energy, we are opening fresh horizons together, built on a vision of a stronger global south partnership.

Obrigado, Brasil, for the friendship, the feijoada, and for proving once again that we share one future across the Atlantic.
