Despite the ongoing war with Russia, the Ukrainian government on Wednesday expressed its readiness to establish grain hubs in Nigeria and other African countries to boost bilateral ties.
This was made known when Ukrainian Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, Mykola Solskyi, led a delegation to the Nigeria Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama and the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mohammad Abubakar, in Abuja.
Onyeama lauded Ukraine for the grain donation, adding that the gesture was coming even when the country is still at war.
Onyeama, however lamented that some of the victims of the war in Ukraine are large number of Nigerian students, whose studies have been interrupted by the war.
