Nigeria’s Ambassador to Mali, Chikezie Ogbonna Nwachukwu has presented his Letters of Credence to the Transitional President, Col. Assimi  Goita at the Kolouba Presidential Palace, Bamako, even as he says President Muhammadu Buhari  is committed to the peace and unity of West African  sub-region

The Ambassador expressed his plan to activate and operationalize the existing joint commissions including the draft Mali-Nigeria Commission agreement, military cooperation, and the Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA) amongst others.

Nwachukwu stressed the need for the transition authority to forge through the transition process including the conduct of elections and also sought the cooperation of President Goita towards accomplishing his mission in Mali.

While thanking President Buhari for his appointment, Ambassador Nwachukwu expressed his commitment to deepen the cordial relations between Nigeria and Mali through robust engagement with his host authorities in political, economic, trade and culture.

He highlighted the historic bilateral relations between Nigeria and Mali, dating back to the colonial era and subsequent establishment of Nigeria diplomatic mission in Bamako in 1970.

According to him, Nigeria has contributed immensely to peace efforts in Mali, including the establishment of Level II hospital under the United Nations Peacekeeping force MINUSMA and deployment of peacekeeping contingents in the country.
