President Muhammadu Buhari and Poland’s president Andrzej Duda have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Agriculture to improve the sector.
Duda disclosed this while briefing Journalists in Abuja after the meeting in Abuja.
According to him, the MoU becomes necessary in the light of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and the consequent food crisis.
Duda noted that his country is supporting affected states and its partner countries to boost agricultural yield.
He noted that Nigeria, being rich in gas, will ensure a steady increase of supply to Poland and the rest of the European Union.
On his part, Buhari thanked the Polish Government for opening its arms to Nigerian students whose studies were truncated by the Russia-Ukraine crisis; offering them opportunities for continued education.
He noted that both countries have reached agreements to increase collaboration in agriculture, energy and defense.
