Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu says intergovernmental organization, BRICS, must not only be a bloc for emerging economies but also a beacon for emerging solutions rooted in solidarity, self-reliance, sustainability, and shared prosperity.
He made the call following his participation in 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil.
According to him, BRICS “must be the architects of a future that addresses the specific needs and concerns of youths, who represent 70% of Nigeria’s population.”
He says “Nigeria associates with what I have heard at BRICS here in Rio, Brazil. The next issues are financial restructuring and reevaluation of the global structure.”
Meanwhile, he seized the opportunity at the summit to remind fellow leaders that “Nigeria is not a passive participant in global affairs. We are taking bold, homegrown steps to accelerate renewable energy, mainstream climate action, strengthen urban resilience, and expand healthcare access.”
He assured that “The world is changing. Nigeria will not be left behind. We will help lead the way.”
