Nigeria has been admitted as a “partner country” of the BRICS bloc of developing economies. BRICS was formed by Brazil, Russia, India and China in 2009, with South Africa added in 2010, as a counterweight to the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations.

Brazil has formally announced Nigeria’s admission as a partner country in the BRICS alliance. The Brazilian foreign ministry communicated the development in a statement on Friday. “The Brazilian government welcomes the Nigerian government’s decision,” the statement said.

Indonesia will formally join BRICS as a full member, Brazil's government said on Monday, further expanding the group of major emerging economies that also includes Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Nigeria has become the ninth country to join BRICS as a partner state, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said. "As part of its temporary BRICS presidency, the Brazilian government announces on January 17 the formal admission of Nigeria to the group as a partner country.

Nigeria has officially joined BRICS as a partner country. This aligns with the group's strategy to increase its influence, particularly in opposing the G7 countries, with Russia playing a key role in this process.
