African countries have a better chance of overcoming economic and security difficulties, according to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, if they look internally for solutions and actually follow through on all of their commitments and agreements.
According to news sources, President Tinubu made this remark as he accepted letters of credence from three ambassadors at the State House: Mr. Awall Wagris Mohammed, of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia; Mrs. Miriam Morales Palmero, of the Republic of Cuba; and Mr. Salem Saeed Al-Shamsi, of the United Arab Emirates.

As you know in every family, there are peculiarities. You can have an erring son, or daughter, but we must work together. We need to agree on core aviation and immigration issues,” the President stated.
