The Moroccan Ambassador to Nigeria, Moha Tagma, says Morocco is a new destination for investment, and a proud partner to Nigeria.
Tagma communicated this when he paid a condolence visit to Mr Tein Jack-Rich, President of Belemaoil Group, on Wednesday in his Abuja residence.
The visit was to commiserate with Jack-Rich on the passing of his uncle, Dr Harrison Tiger.
Tagma expressed his deepest sympathies to Jack-Rich, describing him as a friend, philanthropist, and partner who deserves support and attention from good friends and allies.
Having spent the last eight years in Nigeria, Tagma highlighted the strong bond between Morocco and Nigeria, particularly in the economic sector.
“Morocco is a new destination for investment, and we are proud to be a great partner to Nigeria.
“All Nigerians want to do business with the Moroccans, and we look forward to continuing our fruitful collaboration,” he said.
Tagma said that Morocco had signed an agreement to form the Nigeria/Morocco Friendship Group, underscoring Nigeria’s deep interest in fostering a robust relationship with Morocco.
The condolence visit from the Moroccan envoy was one of many received by Jack-Rich from prominent Nigerians, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Jack-Rich expressed his happiness for the condolence visit and described Tagma as a good friend.
He emphasised the importance of African partnership and intra-African trade for economic growth.
“Africa must partner with itself, trade with itself to grow the African soil economically.”
Jack-Rich urged Nigerian leaders to put aside their party differences and work together for the economic growth of the nation.
“Our leaders must work together, irrespective of party differences, to drive economic growth and development.
“This call for collective action highlights the need for Nigerian leaders to prioritise the country’s economic development,” he said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
