The U.S Government has reiterated its support to the new Nigerian government being led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Charge d’Affaires ad interim for the U.S. Mission, David Greene, reiterated the support for Tinubu administration while speaking at the commemoration of the 247th Independence of America in Abuja on Thursday.
He noted that the U.S. government had always supported Nigeria with many positive impacts across several sectors; agriculture, health, security, economy, information technology, and renewable energy, among others.
“We look forward to partnering with President Tinubu’s Administration to ensure that the Nigerian people’s vision for their country is realised by strengthening Nigerian institutions.
“And helping, in the words of the Nigerian National anthem, build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.
“As Biden said on the occasion of President Tinubu’s inauguration, as Africa’s largest democracy and economy, Nigeria’s success is the world’s success”, Greene said.
He also added that the U.S is ready to partner with Nigeria to strengthen her democracy.
In his speech, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, said that the 10th Assembly was keen of preserving Nigeria’s democracy.
Akpabio said the 10th Assembly would be an all-inclusive parliament, where the interest of all Nigerians would be preserved by exposing legislators to modern legislative practices and building the confidence of the masses in the lawmakers.
Also present at the event were Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, members of the Diplomatic Community, among others.
