According to a statement released on Friday by Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesperson, the President received Letters of Credence from the High Commissioner of Jamaica, Lincoln Downer; High Commissioner of Australia, Leilani Bin-Juda; and Ambassador of Romania, Florin Talapan at the State House, Abuja.

The President during separate meetings assured them of Nigeria's support for a rewarding stay and reaffirmed his government's commitment to maintaining an open-door policy toward strengthening existing economic, cultural, and diplomatic relations.

Tinubu emphasized the importance of collaboration on trade, investment, and the Technical Aids Corps.

He reiterated Nigeria's readiness to reactivate energy cooperation with Jamaica, particularly in the context of climate change and the utilization of gas as a transition fuel.

''The essence of a relationship is to understand one another. With Nigeria's energetic and talented youth, we have a cultural affinity with Jamaica and a lot of potential for cooperation in the areas of culture and tourism that will benefit the youth populations of both countries," the President said.

The Jamaican High Commissioner, Lincoln Downer stated his Prime Minister’s willingness for cooperation between Nigeria and Jamaica in various fields, such as energy, trade and investment, culture, and tourism.

He announced plans for a Jamaican business delegation to visit Nigeria later this year and invited Nigerian investors to explore opportunities in Jamaica’s special economic zones.

President  during the meeting with the High Commissioner of Australia to Nigeria, expressed appreciation for the longstanding relationship between Nigeria and Australia.

He acknowledged the shared values and interests between Nigeria and Australia as active members of the United Nations, the Commonwealth, and other multilateral institutions.

The President emphasized the importance of strengthening cooperation in mining, following recent initiatives by the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake, to deepen ties between the two nations concerning developments in the sector.

"The Minister of Solid Minerals was in Australia recently, and we look forward to further collaboration in this area. We are also ready to deepen our mutual cooperation in the area of education," President Tinubu stated.
