The President, Muhammadu Buhari and his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Agriculture to strengthen collaboration between both countries in the sector.

The Polish President Andrzej Duda disclosed this while briefing Newsmen at the  Presidential Villa, Abuja, shortly after a closed door session with Buhari on Tuesday.

Duda stated that the MoU became necessary in the light of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and the consequent food crisis and that his country is supporting affected states and its partner countries to boost agricultural yield.

In the energy dimension, the President 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 appreciated 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.

President Buhari stated that both countries have reached agreements to increase collaboration in agriculture, energy and defence.

After the briefing, Buhari and Duda proceeded to the State House Banquet Hall for lunch.
