President Olusegun Obasanjo has agreed to consider the request by Ethiopia for 671 university teachers in addition to the 31 already sent from Nigeria to enable that country cope with the new universities being opened.
The President who stated this when he received the out going Ethiopian Ambassador, Mr. Yohannes Guinda Ginbi on 28 February at the State House, Abuja said the request would be considered under the Technical Aid Corps (TAC) scheme in addition to sending some experts on cassava.
He described the bilateral relations between both countries as "very, very good," noting that "Nigeria is passing through an interesting reformist period which we believe we need'" adding that "the results are encouraging".
"All of us in Africa need critical self-analysis if we are to get to where we should be" He stressed.
The President said trade between Nigeria and Ethiopia must be encouraged as Nigeria would consider buying Ethiopian meat and leather products in exchange for Nigerian products in the spirit of reciprocity.
Responding, Mr. Ginbi said that he had learnt a lot from Nigeria's diversity and complexity during his two-year stay.
President Obasanjo also bade farewell to the outgoing Ambassador of Cote d' Ivoire, Mr. Emille M' Iingui Keffa after nine years of diplomatic tour in Nigeria.
The President sad that the events in Cote d' Ivoire were being closely watched while urging Mr. Keffa to continue to render service to Africa in his subsequent endeavours.

Mr. Keffa described his period in Nigeria as "enriching and rewarding", noting that the spirit of reconciliation and reconstruction, which he imbibed from Nigeria, would be useful in Cote d' Ivoire.
He thanked President Obasanjo, the government and people of Nigeria for working towards peace in his country.
