“We just set up a trade office and this accounts for some of the work we have been doing"
“Also, some economic partnerships are being entered into with the European Union and we are looking at policies that will benefit Nigeria. “This is because we are looking at the economic interest of Nigeria in the partnership.” Osinbajo said that one of the points was that the government would cooperate with Nigeria’s neighbours and that was currently going on to secure the nation’s borders. He said that a multinational joint task force was in place with the nation’s neighbours to combat insurgency, to allow for free trade and other beneficial activities.
