President Bola Tinubu has signed a new agreement with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brasília, marking a fresh chapter in Nigeria–Brazil relations.
Nigeria and Brazil have signed a historic Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA), opening the door for direct flights between the two nations and paving the way for stronger economic, cultural, and diplomatic ties.
The agreement was signed in Brazil by Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, and Brazil’s Minister of Transport, Silvio Costa Filho, in the presence of President Bola Tinubu and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
According to a statement by Tunde Moshood, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, the BASA sets a framework for direct air connectivity that will boost trade, tourism, investment, and people-to-people exchange between Africa’s and South America’s largest economies.
“This agreement is a strategic milestone that underscores President Tinubu’s administration’s commitment to expanding Nigeria’s global partnerships and creating an enabling environment for commerce and mobility,” the statement noted.
President Tinubu, who began a two-day state visit to Brazil on Monday, was warmly received in Brasília by President Lula. In his remarks, the Brazilian leader lauded the deal, pledging deeper collaboration with Nigeria in aviation, agriculture, infrastructure, and other key sectors.
