US President Joe Biden has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his inauguration, saying he looks forward to working with the new government of Nigeria.

While saying both Nigeria and the US have strong ties which dates several years back, Biden expressed his desire to strengthen the bond.

According to him, the connections between both countries run particularly deep and have been nurtured by a great Nigerian Diaspora in the US.

A week earlier, the US President had sent a delegation to Tinubu’s inauguration. The entourage was among global dignitaries at Tinubu’s inauguration at Eagle Square in Abuja.
