Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has called for the strengthening of Nigeria-France relations in a congratulatory letter to President-elect, Emmanuel Macron.


 

Nigeria’s acting leader said he received the news of the election of the 39-year old Macron with satisfaction, noting that under successive governments, the relations between Nigeria and France had blossomed.

Osinbajo expressed the optimism that the incoming government will further strengthen the bond of friendship between both countries.

Under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, according to the Acting President, there has been a very close collaboration between Nigeria and France in the war against terror and he commended the role played by France in the successes so far recorded in the implementation of the regional initiative against terrorism.
