The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said, on Thursday, that the $150bn Samoa Agreement entered into by the Federal Government was in the best interest of the country.
He said the agreement did not contravene the Nigerian Constitution and other laws of the land, including the law against same-sex marriage.
The minister was reacting to a report by Daily Trust, which suggested that the Samoa agreement included clauses that require underdeveloped and developing nations to support LGBTQ rights as a condition for receiving financial and other forms of support from advanced countries.
As a result of the report, the agreement has been condemned by many Nigerians.
