Nigeria's Plans to Join BRICS in Line
with Its Philosophy
Director General of Nigeria's Budget
Office Ben Akabueze told Sputnik that its intent to join BRICS conforms with
its interest in a more equitable global financial and development system.
"The way I see it, BRICS is all
part of a strategy to seek a more equitable global financial and development
system," Akabueze said.
"That's consistent with Nigeria's
own philosophy," he added.
Akabueze expressed that when several
countries were invited to join BRICS but Nigeria was not, "it raised a lot
of eyebrows."
"Nigeria would evaluate whatever
joining BRICS offers," Akabueze said.
"Right now I'm not aware that it
conflicts with any other aspirations that Nigeria has, but unless it does,
there should be no reason why Nigeria will not apply," he added.
In an interview with Sputnik in March,
Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar said that the country wants to join
BRICS after it completes the necessary arrangements internally.
