President Muhammadu Buhari sends warm greetings to Nigeria’s Ambassador to Republic of China, Baba Ahmad Jidda, who turns 70 on October 1, 2021, which, interestingly, coincides with Nigeria’s 61st and China’s 72nd Independence Anniversaries.
President Buhari extols the Nigerian Ambassador to China for his effort in improving the warm and growing relations between both countries, with emphasis on the transformative role the Asian country is playing in Nigeria’s infrastructure development, and myriad opportunities in training, business and education.
The President notes the contributions of the former Nigerian Ambassador to Burkina Faso, serving the country previously as a Director in the Federal Civil Service, Member National Political Reform Conference, Senior Special Assistant to the President, National Emergency, and Secretary to Borno State Government.
As the diplomat turns 70, President Buhari believes his dedication to representing the interest of the country in China, and the welfare of Nigerians remain commendable, particularly the leadership role he played at the outset of Covid-19 pandemic.
The President prays that the Almighty God will grant the principal envoy to China longer life, good health and wisdom to keep serving humanity.
