The United States Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, has assured Nigeria's president-elect Bola Tinubu of the commitment to further strengthen the U.S.-Nigeria relationship with the incoming administration.
Blinken, in a statement by U.S. State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, said he called the president-elect on Tuesday to discuss issues of interest.
The secretary noted that the U.S.-Nigeria partnership was built on shared interests and strong people-to-people ties and that those links should continue to strengthen under president-elect Tinubu's tenure.
