Tunisia has initiated a training programme for Nigerians in the areas of tourism development, agriculture, creative arts and environmental protection as part of its developmental exchange programmes.
The Tunisian Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Hattab Haddaoui, who said this in an interview with our correspondent on Tuesday in Abuja, explained that Nigeria could greatly benefit from the well-developed agriculture initiatives of his country, especially in the aspect of curtailing desertification.
According to him, agriculture is a big business in Tunisia. He said high quality agriculture inputs, like fertilizers and other chemical components, are produced by Tunisia and exported to other countries, stressing that the North African nation is the largest supplier of fertilizers to Europe.

He said that purchasing fertilizers and other agriculture inputs from Tunisia are cheaper and the delivery time is shorter, compared to buying from European or American countries.
Haddaoui, who is also his country’s ambassador to Cameroon, Niger and Chad, stressed the need for Nigeria and Tunisia to develop a closer relationship, insisting that the two countries could share experiences on agriculture and security, especially terrorism issues.
He said, “Tunisia has initiated a training programme for Nigerians in tourism, desertification, agriculture, creative arts and environmental protection and other areas of mutual benefits between the two countries. Agriculture is well developed in Tunisia and Nigeria can benefit a lot from us.”
