1. (U) Poloff delivered reftel demarche to Ms. Janet Odeka
at the Nigerian Foreign Ministry's Second UN Division. Odeka
could not tell poloff whether or not Nigeria would support
Belarus' candidacy for the HRC.


2. (C) The Nigerian Foreign Ministry is virtually deserted
at present as MFA officials are in flux awaiting the May 29
inauguration of President-elect Yar'Adua. Post strongly
reccomends that USUN take up this issue with the Nigerian
Mission in New York or Geneva, as most decisions of this type
are made in the field.
