At the opening of the event, President Buhari urged a stronger emphasis on people-to-people relations between South Africa and Nigeria to evolve a bond that will be of benefit to both countries and the entire African continent. He reiterated Nigeria’s commitment to improving a “special relationship’’ with South Africa, which will translate into gains for the continent, particularly in education, science, trade and investment, tourism, and security.
President Buhari said it was fulfilling that despite all the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the BNC was still holding on schedule. Also, both leaders in Abuja launched the Nigeria-South Africa Youth Dialogue for Peace and Security, Youth Development, and Political Participation. The Nigerian leader expressed confidence that collaborations in science and technology and many other areas in a strategic and committed way would provide both countries with solutions and critical intellectual property to unleash economic outcomes for millions of job creations.
According to the President, the areas of cooperation under the Youth Dialogue would include exchange programs on notable national, international, and historic events; National Youth Service initiatives; sharing of best practices on national youth legislation, policy frameworks, and guidelines as well as youth entrepreneurial development and support.
President Ramaphosa thanked the leaders of Nigeria, Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, and Senegal for expressing their dissatisfaction with the travel ban imposed on South Africa and sister neighboring countries in the aftermath of the discovery of the Omicron COVID-19 variant by South African scientists.
