The Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has extended heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency Ayman Safadi, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as the country marks its Independence Anniversary.
In a message celebrating the enduring friendship between Nigeria and Jordan, Ambassador Tuggar highlighted the deep-rooted diplomatic relationship built on mutual respect, cooperation, and shared values.

This development, he noted, has further strengthened cultural and religious ties, fostering greater people-to-people connections between the two nations.
“As both countries continue to expand cooperation in key sectors such as trade, agriculture, technology, and tourism, Nigeria remains committed to deepening this strategic partnership for the mutual prosperity of our citizens,” Ambassador Tuggar stated.
On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, the Foreign Minister extended warm wishes to the government and people of Jordan on this momentous occasion, expressing optimism for enhanced bilateral relations in the years ahead.
