India- Nigeria relations: Onyeama calls for stronger ties

MINISTER of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, has called for stronger ties between Nigeria and India.

This was even as he described the African Continental Free Trade Area ( AFCFTA) as a “game- changer” that is going to be the largest free trade area in the world.

Onyeama made the call during the 7th Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi, India, where he took part in two- panel discussions with the themes, ‘ Out of Africa: Leading on Trade and Economic Integration’, and ‘ Building the Gates of Globalisation: Investment, Infrastructure and Taboos’.

During the discussions, Onyeama spoke about the various partnerships for infrastructural development such as the Belt and Road Initiative ( BRI) and other initiatives with India, the European Union, and other African countries, all of which he said, contribute enormously towards development.
