An official said the move is a reflection of President Joe Biden and the U.S. government's commitment to partner with Nigeria.
The Nigerian government and the United States of America on Monday expressed their willingness to strengthen partnership in Nigeria’s energy sector.
According to him, the move reflects President Joe Biden and the U.S. government’s commitment to partner with Nigeria. “Nigeria is at the heart of that effort because of your size, because of the leadership that your country exercises across the continent and because in terms of this ministry, because of the globally significant asset that Nigeria possesses,” Mr Pyatt said.
“The other factor, of course, is Russia and the implications for the global market, from having a country that until last year was the world’s largest oil and gas producer, to having marginalised itself through its actions in Ukraine and the sanctions that have followed. “I just want to respond very quickly specifically to say how much I welcome the proposal on the creation of a vehicle for more systematic engagement between our governments on these issues.”
“And again, I want to highlight this as an element of President Biden’s commitment to our relationship with your government and our determination to be your preferred partner on these issues,” he said.
