\u201dAs I congratulate President Biden and @KamalaHarris, I urge them and their administration to strengthen US-Nigeria ties, and help our beloved nation\u2019s war on terror by providing every type of support required to win our war against the insurgency we face.<\/p>\n

\u201dI also look forward to the removal of every travel restriction on Nigerian citizens, in keeping with the good relations that has existed between our two nations, beginning with the July 27, 1961 state visit of our first Prime Minister, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, to President John F Kennedy, and continuing over the decades since then.<\/p>\n
