He said Nigeria once stood on the same economic level as Brazil but had fallen behind, stressing that his visit was aimed at drawing lessons from the South American nation’s development.
In remarks shared by his media adviser, Bayo Onanuga, the president pledged transformation through innovation, reform, and inclusive growth. He said the government was committed to food sovereignty, technology, and the courage to change the country’s destiny.
