Tinubu expressed his eagerness to deepen the relationship between Nigeria and the United States, particularly in the face of the complex challenges and opportunities of the modern world.
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu noted, “Together, we can foster economic cooperation, promote peace, and address global challenges that affect our citizens.”
