President Goodluck Jonathan has stressed the need for a stronger and more cooperative partnership between Nigeria and other members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
The President stated this yesterday in Abuja after having separate meetings with the new ambassadors of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Nigeria, according to a statement by Presidential Spokesman, Mr Reuben Abati.
“Such partnerships will improve the decision-making process within OPEC and open up more opportunities for investment and socio-economic collaboration among its members,” the President said.
The President told the new Ambassador of the UAE, Mr. Mahmud Mohammed Mahmud Al-Mahumud and the new Qatari Ambassador, Mr. Abdul Aziz Bin Mubarak Seed Al Muhannadi that the diplomatic and political relationship between Nigeria and other OPEC member-countries ought to be translated into more beneficial engagements.
