We believe that in your time as Ambassador, you will grow the relationship further.
“Lagos is important to France, and there are few things that we are doing together in agriculture, public transportation, and water transportation. We will fashion out how to improve the mutually beneficial relationship, even as a subnational that we are, as compared to both sovereign in France and Nigeria.
