This follows bouts of bilateral trade agreements between the governments of the two countries.
A statement disclosed by the Embassy of Nigeria in Doha confirmed that “The two countries agreed that the good service being offered by the Qatar Airways by launching a direct flight to Abuja will be expanded to Kano, Enugu, and Port Harcourt while acknowledging the contributions of the State of Qatar to the improvement of livelihood of many Nigerians in some states of the country through Qatar Charity and similar organizations.”
