“With
the downturn in the global prices of oil, we now have to prospect our solid
minerals. We have to return to agriculture. Mining and agriculture are our
hopes now. We will welcome investments in these areas. We will appreciate an
in-flow of more resources and expertise to help us achieve our
objective of economic diversification.” President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria
speaking to Council of Saudi Arabia’s Chambers of Commerce and Industry in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
