President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made a resolute commitment to alter Nigeria’s perception as a struggling nation and usher in a new era of transformative governance.
He conveyed this determination during bilateral political discussions with Olaf Scholz, the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, and his delegation at the State House in Abuja on Sunday.
President Tinubu emphasized the need for enhanced cooperation in various sectors, including security, natural resources, education, and democracy, between Nigeria and the German government.
Furthermore, President Tinubu acknowledged that the recent affirmation of his election by the Supreme Court, removing distractions from his agenda, provides a clearer path to move the country forward. He welcomed the German government’s willingness to collaborate in multiple areas.
“Nigeria is still crawling, but we are determined to change the narrative and bring about a transformative government in the country,” President Tinubu declared.
In response, German Chancellor Scholz underscored the importance of deeper collaboration, particularly in infrastructure, with a focus on electricity and energy. He also expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his role in ECOWAS and called for joint efforts to ensure peace and stability in Africa and the wider world.
