Tinubu deserves kudos for shunning BRICS, says VON DG

The Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON) Mr Osita Okechukwu, says President Bola Tinubu deserves commendation for not applying to join the BRICS economic group.

At the 15th BRICS Summit in South Africa, the bloc admitted Argentina, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE among other intending developing countries into its folds, thus fuelling specultions that Nigeria’s application was rejected for not meeting some crucial membership criteria.
