Following President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inauguration, the United State, US President Joe Biden has said his administration will work with Tinubu for economic growth and development.
Biden said this yesterday via a press statement from the White House published on the official Twitter handle of the US Mission to Nigeria, @USinNigeria.
He said, “My administration has worked to strengthen ties between the United States and Nigeria, and I look forward to continuing this work with President Tinubu to support economic growth, advance security, and promote respect for human rights.
“And the United States will continue to work closely with Nigeria, as a friend and partner, to deliver a more peaceful and prosperous future for our world.
“The people-to-people connections between our two countries run particularly deep, nurtured by a vibrant Nigerian Diaspora in the United States.
“As Africa’s largest democracy and economy, Nigeria’s success is the world’s success. Elected leaders owe it to their people to show that democracy can deliver for their needs.
“On behalf of the people of the United States, I send warm wishes to the government and people of Nigeria as they inaugurate a new President.
“As we further deepen our partnership with Nigeria, I look forward to drawing even more on the ideas and energy of this dynamic connection between our countries.” He said.
