Nigeria joins Brics as a partner nation

NIGERIA has been admitted as a “partner country” of the Brics bloc of developing economies, according to a statement on Saturday by Brazil, the group’s chair.

Brics was formed by Brazil, Russia, India and China in 2009, with South Africa added in 2010, as a counterweight to the G7 leading industrialised nations.

Last year, the bloc added Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates. Indonesia was granted full membership at the beginning of this year.
