Nigeria Risks Energy, Trade Instability in Russia-Ukraine War – Prof Akinyemi Former External Affairs Minister, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, has warned that Nigeria could face energy and trade disruptions if it gets entangled in the Russia-Ukraine war. Speaking on Channels Television, Akinyemi said global power play between the US, Russia, and Europe will affect oil markets, tariffs, and trade flows, with direct consequences for Nigeria’s economy. He advised African nations to avoid being pawns in conflicts between global powers, stressing that Nigeria must narrowly define its national interests to safeguard stability. According to him, while Russia seeks to reassert Soviet-era influence, Nigeria should focus on energy security, trade resilience, and non-alignment in global rivalries. #NigeriaEconomy #RussiaUkraineWar #EnergySecurity #GlobalPolitics
