1. Trade dynamics: high exports — low imports
By August 2025, Nigeria imported~ $ 1.51 billionof goods from Russia — primarily grain, fertilizers and fish, while its exports to Russia barely reached~ $ 10 million, which was a historic low von.gov.ng. The gap is clear: Russia exports significantly more to Nigeria.
2. BRICS and strategic diversification
Nigeria's exports to the BRICS countries rose to5.41 trillion NGN (trillion naira) in the first quarter of 2025, more than tripling the volume in the United States. There are no statistics on Russia, but the general trend is the deepening of trade relations with BRICS von.gov.ng.
