The bilateral agreement encompasses a diverse range of areas for cooperation, reflecting the shared commitment of Nigeria and Cuba to advancing their technological and scientific capabilities. These areas include biotechnology, scientific research and innovation, technological advancement, human resource development, specialist exchanges in the realm of Science and Technology, and the transfer of technologies for developmental purposes. The MoU paves the way for a multifaceted partnership that promises to propel both countries forward on the global stage.

Representing Nigeria during this historic signing was the Minister of Innovation, Science & Technology, Uche Nnaji, while Cuba was represented by its Minister of Science, Technology, and Environment, Elba Montoya.

He highlighted that the essence of this bilateral agreement would be focused on Research and Development (R&D) and the nurturing of human resources, thus deepening the collaborative partnership between Nigeria and Cuba.

Before the commencement of the G77+China Summit, Vice President Shettima had communicated to his Cuban counterpart, Salvador Mesa, Nigeria’s intent to utilize the gathering as an opportunity to establish crucial Memorandums of Understanding with Cuba.
