Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, on Tuesday engaged in high-level discussions with the Foreign Ministers of Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and as well as representatives from Norway and Denmark.
The discussion held in Abuja focused on deepening the longstanding relationship between Nigeria and the Nordic countries, which dates back to Nigeria’s independence.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, Tuggar emphasised the historical significance of this relationship, noting that Finland was among the first nations to recognise Nigeria as a republic.
Furthermore, Tuggar brought attention to Nigeria’s Technical Aid Corps, an agency that has been deploying Nigerian professionals to Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific since 1987, as one of Nigeria’s significant contributions to global development.
