Barrister Wike, while thanking the Cuban Envoy for the visit, said Nigeria and Cuba have a long history, adding that many Cubans could trace their roots to Africa and Nigeria in particular. 7.

He said, “I have known mostly the impact of Cuba in terms of medicine and when it comes to the issue of elimination of Malaria, you are quite good in that. Therefore, we will continue to partner with you. And then the vaccine too, which is the latest one now. So, it will be our pleasure to really see how we can benefit from that and cooperate with you.” 9. The Minister who also lauded Mexico’s agricultural achievements, explained that the FCT would be willing to partner with Mexican companies to develop agriculture and tourism in the FCT. 10. He said “Mexico is a nation noted for agriculture. I know a lot of Mexicans and Nigerians who are running a lot of agricultural firms.
