“Everything, in different directions,” Tuggar said after answering a Sputnik’s question on the military-technical sector in which Nigeria would like to strengthen cooperation with Russia.
Tuggar stressed that “Nigeria is a large country in a region facing multiple challenges,” while rapid population growth and poverty create security concerns.
“Therefore, a strong or stronger Nigeria is the way to a more stable region, which would benefit the whole planet,” he added.
On Wednesday, Tuggar said at a news briefing following talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that cooperation between the two countries in the military-technical sector will continue.
