President Muhammadu Buhari has
expressed satisfaction with the current level of relationship between
Nigeria and the United States.
The President, who spoke on the issue
when he received a telephone call from the U.S. Secretary of State,
Michael Pompeo on Thursday, also used the opportunity to congratulate
the new Secretary of State on his appointment.
President Buhari recalled his past
meeting with Mr Pompeo, then as the Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), and thanked him for the enormous support
the U.S. has extended to the Nigerian security and intelligence
services.
The President requested the Secretary
of State to extend his appreciation to President Donald Trump for the
warm reception he was given in the course of his recent visit to the
White House.
Secretary Pompeo assured President
Buhari that with him in the Department of State, relations between
both countries would get even better.
He reiterated the desire of the U.S to
continue to pursue, side by side with Nigeria, matters of common
interest on the African continent, including the fight against
terrorism and corruption, trade and development.
