Nigeria and Saint Kitts and Nevis agreed to appoint special envoys to strengthen bilateral relations...
President Bola Tinubu and Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Terrance Michael Drew, have agreed to appoint special envoys to deepen bilateral relations and strengthen cooperation between both countries.
Drew disclosed this after a courtesy visit to the President at the State House in Abuja, where both leaders reviewed existing engagements and explored new areas of strategic partnership.
According to him, the decision to designate envoys in Abuja and Basseterre is aimed at ensuring effective implementation of agreements and expanding collaboration between Nigeria, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the wider Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
“We have agreed that there will be a special envoy to Saint Kitts and Nevis, and of course, we would have a special envoy here to further the collaboration and ensure tangible benefits for both Saint Kitts and Nevis and the wider CARICOM, as well as Nigeria and the African continent,” Drew said.
CBI News reports that the Prime Minister commended Tinubu’s leadership and hospitality, describing Nigeria as a key player both in Africa and globally.
“It’s always a pleasure for me to be here in Nigeria. I was here last year around this time, and I’m back again. I want to thank His Excellency, the President, who has been gracious as a host,” he added.
Highlighting shared historical ties, Drew noted that many citizens of Saint Kitts and Nevis trace their ancestry to Nigeria, particularly the Calabar region.
“This is our people. Our people in Saint Kitts and Nevis fundamentally came from Calabar here in Nigeria. So I always say we have come back home,” he said.
He added that discussions with Tinubu covered areas such as cultural exchange, education, agriculture, food security, and broader development partnerships between Africa and the Caribbean.
Drew also pointed to existing collaboration in health and education as a success, noting the impact of Nigerian-trained professionals in his country.
“A lot of Nigerians have studied in my country, and they are doctors today. We have had a contingent of doctors who went to Saint Kitts and Nevis already. We are seeing tangible benefits from our collaboration, and now we are taking it to the next level,” he said.
