President Goodluck Jonathan has restated his commitment to building virile institutions in the country to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy and make the country a better place for all.
Jonathan was speaking with the new Belgian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Dirk Verheyen, after he presented letters accrediting him to Nigeria.
He said, “You need strong institutions for a country to successfully practice federalism, and I am committed to building them in Nigeria.”
The President commended the warm relationship between Nigeria and Belgium, reminding the new Ambassador of several outstanding bilateral issues.
Also receiving the new German Ambassador to Nigeria, Mrs Dorothee Jaretzke-Wenzel, at a separate audience, Jonathan said Nigeria had power supply challenges, and was already negotiating with Germany toward attracting investors into the power sector.
He stated that current efforts at increasing power supply would be fruitful.
The President also received letters of credence from the new Rwandan Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Joseph Habineza.
The new Ambassador thanked Jonathan for receiving him, pledging to work hard to strengthen the warm relations between his country and Nigeria.?
