Polish President Andrzej Duda on Tuesday visited Nigeria and underlined his country’s intention to enhance energy import from Nigeria. Mr. Duda underlined his nation’s interest while praising the shipping of crude oil and liquefied natural gas from Nigeria to Poland, according to Femi Adesina, a spokesperson for the president. In response to the energy crisis in Europe brought on by Russia’s energy cutoff and Europe’s efforts to wean itself off Russia as a major, if not its exclusive, supply of energy, comes Mr. Duda’s two-day visit.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Agriculture was also signed between Nigeria and Poland while they were in Abuja. The MoU on agricultural cooperation is one of several strategic dialogue agreements that Poland has signed with other African nations, but the president of Poland claims that Nigeria is the only one. What was pivotal in our conversation today both in our tete-a-tete as well as the plenary session was how to provide food and energy security,” he said.
The MOU we signed is crucial for the future of both countries’ food security, the author continued, adding that “it is imperative to us to expand the links between Poland and Nigeria.” President Muhammadu Buhari said Nigeria is pleased with the country’s productive partnership with Poland in the areas of maritime, education, and defense during a joint press conference with Mr. Duda.
In light of the worldwide food insecurity brought on by the situation in Ukraine, the president claimed that the two nations’ agricultural cooperation would benefit both parties.
Additionally, Buhari stated that despite the long history of connections between the two countries, he would want to see an increase in commerce because it has remained relatively modest
