Nigeria Govt Congratulates Zimbabwe on Her Independence Anniversary
The Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar extends his warm congratulations to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Hon. Prof. Amon Murwira on the occasion of his country’s 45th Independence Anniversary.
The attainment of independence on the 18th of April 1980 by the people of Zimbabwe remains a remarkable achievement, bearing in mind the historic role and significant contributions that were made by the Nigerian people and Government during the liberation struggle which eventually culminated in victory.
This historic milestone, therefore, marks the resilience, courage, and firm determination of the Zimbabwean people in their pursuit of freedom, self-determination, and national development. Nigeria commends Zimbabwe for its noteworthy progress over the years and reaffirms our commitment to strengthening the longstanding bonds of friendship and cooperation between our two nations.
“As fellow members of the African Union and other reputable multilateral organizations, Nigeria and Zimbabwe share a common vision for peace, prosperity, and continental integration. We remain steadfast in our support for Zimbabwe’s socio-economic development and look forward to deepening bilateral ties in areas of mutual interest, including trade, agriculture, and regional security.
“We therefore wish the Government and people of Zimbabwe peace, prosperity, and Nigeria’s continuing friendship and support.”
