US embassy cable - 05ABUJA1185

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  (C) During a wide-ranging discussion with the Ambassador, 
Prince Adegboyega Christopher Ariyo, Director of Asia and 
Middle East Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), 
expressed concern about the possibility of Nigeria's oil and 
gas reserves' becoming depleted over the next forty years. 
Ariyo suggested that at some point in the future, Nigeria 
would ask the U.S. to facilitate a meeting with the 
Government of South Korea in order to obtain nuclear energy 
technology. 
 
2.  (C) Note:  The meeting took place at Ariyo's office, at 
his request.  The Ambassador had earlier met Ariyo at several
