President Bola Tinubu says lack of synergy between Nigeria and Benin Republic has been an encumbrance to mutual development.
The Nigerian leader made this known when he received the President of Benin Republic, Patrice Talon at the Aso Villa in Abuja.
A statement by the President’s spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, said the Nigerian leader also assured his Benin Republic counterpart that they are together, adding that the Federal Government will support all private sector interests to facilitate prosperity in both countries.
President Talon, who was at the State House to seek the support of President Bola Tinubu on improving trade relations, ahead of the Economic Community of West African States – ECOWAS Summit, had described the relationship between his country and Nigeria as crucial, emphasizing the free movement of people and goods between both countries.
