Why Developed Countries Find It Hard To Help Nigeria - Presidency

The Presidency has shared that some developed country find it hard to assist Nigeria simply because they believe Nigeria is a rich nation.

According to the Presidential spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, who spoke on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari while receiving letters of credence from newly appointed diplomats of three nations namely, India, Kuwait, and Namibia, he said the country is viewed as being richly blessed in crude oil as a result of its participation in Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

In his words:

“Nigeria’s continuous support of Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) policies, sometimes, discourages assistance from developed countries, with wrong assumptions that the country is rich.”
