The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Abayomi Gabriel

Headquarters in Abuja.
The CDS noted that it is the policy of Nigeria to deal
directly with governments of countries where it has any interest and
promised to study the business proposal submitted by the Ambassador on
behalf of Ukrainian companies and take stock of areas of interest to the
Military.

especially in the areas of Military and education.
While submitting a business proposal to the CDS, the
diplomat disclosed the readiness of Ukrainian companies which produces
Military hardware to make presentations to the Nigerian Armed Forces on
equipment that will help Nigeria in its fight against terrorism.
