Nigeria and South Africa have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to make it unnecessary for nationals of both countries holding official or diplomatic passports to acquire visa before travelling to either country. The MoU was signed on Tuesday between President Goodluck Jonathan and his host, President Jacob Zuma, during a closed door bilateral session between the two leaders in the South African president's office in Cape Town.
Other MoU signed between the two countries were on cooperation in legal field, oil and gas sector, power sector development, environment, defence cooperation, women development and empowerment, as well as child development. There were also bilateral agreements on geology, mining, mineral processing and metallurgy and fields of information and communication technology.
The two leaders also agreed on the need for stronger cooperation in other sectors, including economic, social and political development on the African continent.
