BRICS New Delhi Declaration 2026: Rewiring the Global South’s Economic Architecture and Implications for Nigeria/Africa

While not an immediate replacement for the current system, it offers substantial opportunities for Nigeria and Africa. The key will be converting diplomatic access into bankable projects and domestic value creation, moving beyond fragmented national efforts to a unified strategic position.
