Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb.Yusuf Tuggar, says Nigeria is working to deepen bilateral relations with the U.S. in accordance with Nigeria’s foreign policy thrust under President Bola Tinubu.
Tuggar stated this at the 248th U.S. independence anniversary dinner organised by the U.S. Embassy in Abuja on Tuesday.
The minister said deepening Nigeria-U.S. ties would further cement their many years of cooperation and friendship.
He noted that the signing of the Nigeria-U.S. Binational Cooperation is one of the major foreign policy objectives of the Tinubu administration.
Tuggar, represented by Amb. Janet Olisa, Director of Regions, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Nigeria-U.S. bilateral relations “has been nurtured over the years” with various cooperations that have strengthened the ties.
“Since our independence, we have been two nations that have continued to watch our friendship, bond, and cooperation closely.
“One of the major developments that happened this year was the Nigeria-U.S. Binational Cooperation agreement, and it is a testament of how important and cordial our relationship is,” Tuggar said
