The Nigerian Ambassador to Togo, Debo Adesina, has said being strategic partners, one of his missions is to reactivate the Nigeria-Togo Joint Commission, for the benefit of the people.
He disclosed this on Friday, during the presentation of his letters of credence to President Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe of Togo, at the State House in Lome.
“Nigeria and Togo are strong allies and strategic partners. We have a long history of togetherness. Our joint leadership in fostering unity in the West African sub-region and our shared vision of dignity for our people remain examples for many to follow.
“It is in this regard that the key component of my mandate, as given by President Muhammadu Buhari, is to vigorously pursue economic diplomacy and strengthen our partnership in the areas of trade and economic development for the benefit of our people.
“Therefore, as ambassador, I will seek to expand the frontiers of our trade relations and economic cooperation. I will work for the resuscitation of the Bilateral Trade Agreements between Nigeria and Togo as well as the reactivation of Nigeria-Togo Joint Commission,” he said.
Adesina promised the president Nigeria’s support, as he also said he would sustain Nigeria’s policy of good neighbourliness and continued quest for the unity of Africa.
He told President Gnassingbe, “As Africans, we are one. Our borders are lines of convenience, not barriers to our unity and collective progress,” adding that “the development of infrastructure, reducing unemployment, eradication of poverty and many other things in your Development Agenda are in tune with President Buhari’s vision.”
For giving women, in very good numbers, positions of responsibility and authority in the government, Ambassador Adesina said President Gnassingbe has set the pace in the region and set the tone for a chorus that must be sung by all who believe in the future of Africa and the pivotal role of our women in it.
