Russia says it won’t shun our oil!

If according to report earlier this week that most countries have decided to shun our oil for others, then we shall in a matter of time know who truly wants to stop doing oil and gas business with Nigeria. But for The Russian Federation, this is not so.
Valeriy Shaposhmikov, who is the Deputy Head of Mission, Russian Embassy has said that major Russian oil companies, Gazprom and Lukoil are looking to invest in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
