The Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has called for stronger economic cooperation with France, China, and Denmark, emphasizing the need to translate long-standing friendships into tangible benefits for citizens.

During a ceremony at the State House in Abuja, Tinubu received Letters of Credence from ambassadors of the three nations, stressing the importance of cooperation in education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

Tinubu specifically asked France to support Nigeria’s ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening institutions and improving livelihoods.

“Macron has been a good friend over many years, and I am looking forward to the State Visit in Paris to solidify our relationship and ensure that our citizens also share in the gains of diplomacy between both countries.

“I am happy you are not a stranger in-Africa from your background. Nigeria is the biggest country on the continent and the headquarters of ECOWAS is based here. We have an open door policy, and we want your investors to take advantage of it.

“Our collaboration is essential for Africa, ECOWAS and Nigeri. You can always get in touch through Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or the Chief of Staff to the President,” President Tinubu said.

French Ambassador, Marc Fonbaustier, praised Tinubu’s achievements and expressed commitment to enhancing the partnership for shared economic prosperity.

In a meeting with Chinese Ambassador Yu Dunhai, Tinubu appreciated China’s hosting of his state visit and participation in the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.

He encouraged the ambassador to implement agreements signed between the two countries, particularly in trade and economic progress.

Tinubu also welcomed Danish Ambassador Jens Ole Bach Hansen, expressing interest in collaborating on education, healthcare, and energy. The Danish ambassador outlined his country’s new strategy to enhance relations with Africa, recognizing Nigeria’s significant influence on the continent.

The meetings signaled Nigeria’s desire to deepen its economic diplomacy and cooperation with key international partners.
