In times such as these, when the fragility of human life is laid bare by violence, the bonds that unite nations are felt most deeply. Nigeria stands i in solidarity with Mali and reaffirms the enduring ties of brotherhood, shared destiny, and collective resilience that define the African spirit.
The Federal Government of Nigeria condemns the cowardly acts perpetrated by terrorist groups in different parts of the country in recent days which have resulted in the loss of lives and properties.
