Cooperation Agreement with Morocco on Fertilizer, 'Great Opportunity' for Nigeria (Nigerian FM)

The cooperation agreement between Morocco and Nigeria on Fertilizer is "a great opportunity" for Nigeria, Nigerian Foreign minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, said.

In a press statement on the occasion of the signing ceremony of agreements on the Nigerian-Moroccan Gas Pipeline project and the Moroccan-Nigerian fertilizer cooperation, chaired, Monday at the royal palace in Rabat, by HM King Mohammed VI, the Nigerian minister said that the cooperation agreement in the area of fertilizers "which the Sovereign has generously facilitated is a great opportunity for Nigeria in its quest for agricultural self-sufficiency. »

"We have been concentrating on oil for years, and we have neglected agriculture. Today we are suffering the consequences," said Oneyama, adding that thanks to Morocco's fertilizer and phosphate resources, "We are now on the way to build a strong agricultural infrastructure".
