Nigeria and Angola has partnered to address the issue of falling Oil Price which has hugely affected the economy of both countries.
According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, this partnership was forged when President Muhammadu Buhari and his Angolan counterpart, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, met at the sidelines of the Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The statement read “President Eduardo dos Santos had earlier thanked President Buhari for sending a delegation to his country’s 40th Independence anniversary this year. He also expressed sympathy with Nigeria on its security challenges, noting however, that he believed that President Buhari is the right person to restore peace to Nigeria given his military background.
“He described Nigeria as a very important country in Africa that is traditionally looked upon to help solve problems on the continent, adding that his country and Nigeria, which share similar security and oil challenges in the Gulf of Guinea, must forge closer relationship to overcome the mutual problems.’’
