Nigeria National Day

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my warmest congratulations to the people of Nigeria on the 65th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence.

For over six decades, Nigeria has stood as a beacon of resilience and leadership. The United States values our enduring partnership, rooted in shared democratic principles, a growing commercial relationship, and a commitment to fostering peace and security.

On this special occasion, we celebrate the rich cultural heritage, entrepreneurial spirit, and unwavering determination of the Nigerian people. We look forward to continuing to deepen our collaboration in the years ahead as we work together to achieve our shared goals.

Congratulations once again on this milestone anniversary. May the year ahead bring continued progress and prosperity to Nigeria and its people.
