The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said this in Abuja when he received a delegation from Germany to follow up on issues of repatriation of the bronzes.
The delegation, led by the Director-General for Culture and Communication of the German Federal Foreign Office, Andreas Gorgen, was accompanied by the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Birgitt Ory.
Mohammed expressed satisfaction with the Memorandum of Understanding MoU earlier signed between the delegation and the National Commission for Museums and Monuments NCMM.
He said the MoU, which was about confidence building between the parties, had underscored the fact that no one was reneging on the agreement reached on the return of the cultural objects.
