       President Muhammadu Buhari has hailed the state of the Nigerian
       economy, promising that his administration will continue to
       implement policies that will strengthen it.
       The President spoke about the nation’s economy on Thursday after
       receiving the letter of credence from the new Ambassador of
       Denmark, Mr Jesper Kamp, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
       ‘‘The Nigerian economy is looking good and we look forward to
       making it better,’’ President Buhari was quoted as saying in a
       statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi
       Adesina.
       President Buhari Buhari told Kamp that he was pleased that the
       ties between Nigeria and Denmark have remained strong.
       He, however, said there was the need to strengthen the ties,
       explaining that Nigeria was looking at boosting ties with other
       countries, especially in the areas of agriculture and trade.
       The President also received Letters of Credence from Major
       General (Retd) Waqar Kingravi, the new High Commissioner of
       Pakistan to Nigeria; Mr Babacar Ndiaye, the new Ambassador of
       Senegal to Nigeria; and Mr Vyacheslav Beskosky, the new
       Ambassador of Belarus to Nigeria.
       He described the long-standing military cooperation between
       Nigeria and Pakistan as very commendable and beneficial to both
       countries.
       ‘‘Given the vast experience of the Pakistani military, your
       commitment in assisting us to develop our military is
       commendable,’’ President Buhari told the Pakistani High
       Commissioner:
       He recalled that as a former military officer, several of his
       colleagues who trained in Pakistan still have very fond memories
       of the country.
       While receiving the Senegalese Ambassador, President Buhari
       commended President Macky Sall of Senegal for his roles in the
       progress achieved in the political process in Guinea Bissau.
       He said he was aware of the economic progress taking place in
       Senegal, and stressed the need for stability in the West African
       region to ensure rapid socio-economic development, particularly
       in the key areas of education, health, and infrastructure.
       ‘‘The bigger we are the bigger the problems, so we must continue
       to do our best to surmount our challenges in the region,’’
       President Buhari, who is also the current Chair of the ECOWAS
       Authority of Heads of States and Government, told the Senegalese
       envoy.
       Meanwhile, President Buhari told the Belarus ambassador that
       there was the need for improved economic ties between Nigeria
       and his country.
       He commended the Eastern European country for accommodating
       international students from Nigeria in their tertiary
       institutions.
       The President wished the four Ambassadors very successful
       tenures, reiterating Nigeria’s commitment to continue to partner
       with their countries in areas of mutual concerns.
