Nigeria, Brazil Deepen Defence Ties in Landmark Bilateral Engagement

Brasília, Brazil – In a strategic move to bolster Nigeria’s security architecture and deepen international defence partnerships, the Honourable Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, CON, mni, on Monday, August 25, 2025, held a pivotal high-level meeting with his Brazilian counterpart, Mr. José Múcio Monteiro Filho, in Brasília.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state visit to Brazil and was attended by top defence officials, including General Renato Rodrigues de Aguiar Freire, Chief of the Joint Staff of the Brazilian Armed Forces. Discussions centred on fortifying bilateral defence relations, advancing technological cooperation, and enhancing maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea.

Minister Badaru described the engagement as a step toward translating diplomatic agreements into concrete outcomes. He reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to the full implementation of the Nigeria-Brazil Defence Agreement, signed earlier on June 24, 2025.

“Nigeria is determined to build a resilient defence industry that reduces dependence on imports and positions our country as the defence-industrial hub in Africa,” Minister Badaru stated during the meeting.
“Brazil’s experience and technological depth make it a trusted partner, but our priority is to move from agreements to action, with clear timelines and measurable results that benefit both nations.”

The Defence Minister emphasized that effective cooperation with Brazil is critical for Nigeria’s national security priorities and aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which focuses on self-reliance, national capacity building, and regional leadership in peace and security.

Both nations agreed to initiate a structured defence dialogue framework aimed at ensuring continuity, strategic oversight, and the monitoring of progress in key areas, including defence-industrial collaboration, joint military training, and maritime security operations.

Minister Badaru also applauded Brazil’s consistent role in securing the Gulf of Guinea, a critical maritime corridor that supports Nigeria’s economic and energy interests. He noted the synergy between Nigeria and Brazil within the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone (ZOPACAS), describing it as vital for ensuring peace and stability in the South Atlantic region.

The meeting concluded with mutual pledges to deepen collaboration, promote technology transfer, and accelerate joint defence ventures, including local production of military equipment.

As Nigeria looks to modernize its defence capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign imports, this renewed partnership with Brazil offers a promising pathway to achieving sustainable security and industrial growth.

This strategic engagement not only underscores Nigeria’s growing international influence but also marks a defining moment in the country’s defence diplomacy under the current administration.
