President Buhari noted that the relationship between the two countries is very strong, “and dates back in time, both at the personal and national levels.” 

“It is long and steadfast,” the President added. 

Prince Al-Saud brought greetings from King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, saying the Kingdom appreciates the relationship with Nigeria, “which dates back 61 years, and we want to strengthen it even further.”

“There’s still a lot we can do together,” the Prince submitted.
