Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Agriculture to increase bilateral cooperation in the industry.
Duda revealed this to journalists on the front porch of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, just after a closed-door meeting with Buhari.
According to him, the MoU is necessary because of Russia’s aggressiveness in Ukraine and the resulting food crisis.
Describing Russia’s aggression as “unjustified” Duda noted that his country is supporting affected states and its partner countries to boost agricultural yield.
In the energy dimension, he 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 thanked 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.
He noted that both countries have reached agreements to increase collaboration in agriculture, energy and defense.
After the briefing Buhari and his host proceeded to the State House Banquet Hall for lunch.
