South Africa’s Ramaphosa will support Nigeria if the country wants to become a member of the G20
“Nigeria will be keenly supported by us. We have been a lone member of G20. We shall need to raise the voice of Africa which had been neglected,” South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said during the official launch of his country’s presidency of the G20 in Cape Town.
Pretoria assumed the presidency of the G20 for the first time on Sunday, becoming the first African country to lead this intergovernmental forum.
Nigeria reportedly expressed its desire to join the association on Monday. According to local media, the country requested support from South Africa.
Currently, the African continent is represented in the G20 by the African Union, which joined in 2023, and by South Africa.
