In a statement released by her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, Mrs. Tinubu expressed optimism about Nigeria’s untapped potential, emphasising the need for citizens to appreciate the abundant blessings bestowed upon the country.
During the meeting, she commended Turkey’s interest in fostering closer ties with Nigeria and Africa as a whole, expressing gratitude for the support and collaboration.
