Nigeria, Russia move to replace 59-year-old aviation deal

Nigeria and Russia are moving to replace their 59-year-old Bilateral Air Services Agreement with a new framework to strengthen aviation cooperation and expand air transport connectivity between the two nations. The decision comes after a meeting at the Third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, where both nations agreed to renegotiate the existing agreement, which was established in 1967.

The new deal is expected to be signed in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in April 2027, with both countries forming separate negotiating teams to meet the six-month deadline.
