President Muhammadu Buhari has indicated that stronger diplomatic ties with Hellenic Republic and Republic of Cuba will bolster Nigeria’s ongoing efforts at diversifying the economy, improving global competitiveness and repositioning the country to play more leading roles.
His spokesman Mr. Femi Adesina, in a statement in Abuja, quoted Buhari as stating this when he received Letters of Credence from the Ambassador of Hellenic Republic to Nigeria, Monsieur Loannis Plotas, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Nigerian leader said the long standing diplomatic and business relations with the country would be strengthened for mutual benefit, noting that most global challenges will need collective efforts for lasting solutions.
In his remarks, Plotas said business ties between Nigeria and Hellenic Republic, also known as Greece, had been long, particularly the flour mills that employed about 50, 000 Nigerians at some point in the country’s history
