UAE Commits to Long-Term Trade and Investment in Nigeria

The UAE has reaffirmed its commitment to long-term investments and trade growth in Nigeria, as stated by Saeed bin Mubarak Al Hajeri, the UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs. He noted that Nigeria is becoming an increasingly important partner within the UAE's broader engagement across Africa.

The relationship is driven by long-term economic priorities rather than short-term global developments. Al Hajeri highlighted that non-oil trade between the two countries has significantly expanded over the past five years, reflecting a broader diversification of economic engagement.
