He stated that Nigeria attaches great importance to its relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran because there are good capacities. If we use these capacities, it will be in the interest of both countries.
Zubairu Dada said: "Despite the opportunities and close relations between the two countries, the economic relations between the two countries are not satisfactory and are not in a good position."
