ABUJA — President of the United States, Donald Trump, has welcomed Nigeria’s Ambassador to the US, Kayode Are.

This comes as the national leadership of Accredited Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and Community-Based Organisations (CBOs), coordinated by the Civil Society Organisations on Community Advancement and Humanitarian Empowerment Initiative (CSCHEI), has commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing Ambassador Are as Nigeria’s envoy to the United States, describing the move as a strategic step towards strengthening bilateral ties.

CSCHEI, a United Nations-recognised platform that promotes accredited CSOs and CBOs in Nigeria, stated that appointing a diplomat with extensive experience in security, intelligence, and international relations would deepen cooperation between Nigeria and the United States.
