Femi Adesina, the President’s spokesman in a statement, said Buhari
stated this when he received the outgoing Ambassadors of Spain, and
The State of Qatar, in separate audiences on Monday in Abuja.
President Buhari told the outgoing ambassador of Spain, Marcelino
Ansorena that Spain would ever remain relevant in the developed world.
He noted that Nigeria was glad to be in a relationship with such a
country in the areas of trade, technology, education, and other spheres of
life.
In his remarks, Ansorena disclosed that his four years in Nigeria were
pleasurable ones, adding that relations between the countries “continue
to be excellent.”
He promised to be a new Ambassador of Nigeria to Spain, pledging that
his country would continue to invest more in agriculture, food
processing, and fight human trafficking.
The outgoing Ambassador commended Nigeria’s democracy, saying it
has consolidated, “and will continue to grow.”
The Nigerian leader also told the outgoing Ambassador of The State of
Qatar, Abdulaziz Al-Muhanadi that relations between Nigeria and Qatar
had been strong and credible, particularly as oil-producing nations.
