Abuja, Nigeria – The Brazilian government has officially announced Nigeria’s admission as a partner country in the BRICS bloc, a significant step in strengthening cooperation between Global South nations.
In a statement released by Brazil’s Foreign Ministry on Friday, it was highlighted that the bloc and Nigeria share mutual interests in advancing South-South collaboration and advocating for the reform of international organizations.
“Nigeria, with the world’s sixth-largest population and Africa’s largest, is one of the continent’s leading economies. The country’s active role in South-South cooperation and its commitment to reforming global governance align closely with the priorities of BRICS under Brazil’s presidency,” the statement read.
