President Muhammadu Buhari |
Receiving the outgoing South Sudanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Makuet Riak, at the State House in Abuja, President Buhari said that South Sudan can avoid the mistake made by Nigeria in her over-reliance on oil revenue.
He told Ambassador Riak that sustainable agriculture is one of the best ways to keep the nation productive saying Nigeria’s economy has been adversely affected by the drop in global oil prices.
President Buhari also praised the excellent relations between Nigeria and South Sudan and reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening existing bilateral ties.
In his remarks, Ambassador Riak described his four-year duty tour as his country’s first ambassador to Nigeria as very fruitful.
He said South Sudan was blessed with fertile land and would welcome more investments from Nigerian companies.
