Celebrating Independence and Honoring a Nation’s Journey
In her address, Ambassador Dr. Kolo Haruna Abubakar stressed that the 66th anniversary of independence represents an opportunity to reflect on Nigeria’s journey as a sovereign nation, honor the sacrifices of its founding fathers and renew the country’s commitment to building a peaceful, prosperous and united nation.
She noted that despite the political and economic challenges Nigeria has faced since independence, the country has continued its journey with resilience, unity and determination, emphasizing its ongoing efforts to promote peace and security, modernize its economy and strengthen democratic institutions.
The “Renewed Hope Agenda”: Reform and Economic Transformation
The Ambassador also highlighted the economic reform process pursued by Nigeria under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, within the framework of the “Renewed Hope Agenda.”
She pointed to efforts aimed at achieving economic stability, developing infrastructure and the energy sector, strengthening food security and agriculture, while supporting innovation, technology and the digital economy.
She further highlighted the pillars of Nigeria’s foreign policy — democracy, development and demography — as key foundations through which Nigeria seeks to strengthen its presence and partnerships at both the African and international levels.
Tunisia and Nigeria: A Shared Commitment to Deepening Cooperation
Ambassador Abubakar emphasized that Tunisian-Nigerian relations are founded on solid principles of mutual respect, shared African values and friendship, expressing Nigeria’s commitment to further expanding areas of cooperation with Tunisia.
In this context, she highlighted opportunities in higher education and scientific research, trade and investment, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and green technology, as well as cooperation in the fields of security and regional stability.
She also stressed the importance of developing direct links between business communities in both countries and making greater use of the opportunities offered by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), with a view to strengthening economic integration between Nigeria and Tunisia.
The Nigerian Community: Human Bridges Between the Two Countries

She praised the community’s contributions through its skills, cultural exchanges and participation in Tunisia’s economic and social life, reaffirming the Embassy’s commitment to continuing to serve members of the Nigerian community, protect their interests and strengthen their ties with their homeland.
