Nigeria Officially Joins BRICS

Excerpt: “…Financial markets have responded positively to the announcement, with Nigerian stocks showing marked improvement. The partnership is expected to facilitate Nigeria’s integration into BRICS’ alternative payment mechanisms, potentially reducing the nation’s exposure to dollar-denominated transactions…”

What do you feel about Nigeria taking this critical economic position?

Personally, I saw this as a necessity. Western nations have taken Nigeria and other west African nations for granted. Nigeria have enough capital and resources to leverage favorable deals from the global community. It’s encouraging to see Nigeria be an active player.
