US embassy cable - 03ABUJA277

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.

(SBU) Minister of Commerce Precious Ngelale on February 7 
told the DCM Nigeria would oppose any effort that would delay 
the implementation of a solution to the current impasse over 
the Doha Declaration on Public Health. He said Nigeria would 
not support expansion of the moratorium to cover conditions 
other than HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other deadly 
infectious diseases afflicting Africans. He concluded, "We 
agree completely with the U.S. position. I don't think it 
would be difficult to get many of my colleagues to agree as 
well."
