Naija News reports that Vice President Kashim Shettima made this statement during Senegal’s 65th Independence Day celebration held at Place de la Nation in Dakar on Friday. Shettima represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the event, which was hosted by Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and attended by dignitaries from across Africa and beyond.

Speaking on the sidelines of the celebration, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, highlighted the robust cooperation between Nigeria and Senegal, emphasizing that both nations gained independence in 1960 and have since remained steadfast in promoting democracy and regional security.

“Senegal and Nigeria enjoy deep-rooted bilateral relations built on shared history and common aspirations,” Odumegwu-Ojukwu noted. “Both countries have continuously championed democratic values and constitutional governance across the African continent, while also collaborating in the fight against terrorism and the strengthening of regional institutions.”

The minister further revealed that Senegal is Nigeria’s leading trade partner within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), accounting for an impressive 68.7% of Nigeria’s total exports to the region. She described this as a strong indicator of the mutually beneficial economic cooperation between the two nations.

Ambassador Odumegwu-Ojukwu also disclosed that President Faye had visited Nigeria last year to engage in high-level discussions with President Tinubu on enhancing bilateral ties and exploring areas for increased collaboration.

According to a statement by Stanley Nkwocha, spokesperson for Vice President Shettima, President Faye used his Independence Day address to commend Senegal’s democratic achievements and reiterated his administration’s commitment to comprehensive reforms aimed at national transformation.

President Faye emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility, budgetary transparency, and efficient debt management as key steps toward economic stability and sustainable development.
