Why Nigeria’s success is the world’s success – Biden

The United States President, Joe Biden, says his administration will continue to work closely with Nigeria, as a friend and partner to deliver a more peaceful and prosperous future for the global community.

Biden, in a statement of congratulation to Nigeria’s new President, Bola Tinubu, on his inauguration on Monday, noted that the success of Nigeria as Africa’s largest economy means the success of the world.

Even as he extended warm wishes to the government and people of Nigeria, he charged elected leaders to show their people that democracy could a vehicle to deliver the society’s needs.

The US President said, “I look forward to continuing this work with President Tinubu to support economic growth, advance security, and promote respect for human rights.  The people-to-people connections between our two countries run particularly deep, nurtured by a vibrant Nigerian Diaspora in the United States.”

Biden added, “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.  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.  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.”
