Buhari Rejoices With Justin Trudeau Over His Election As Canadian PM

President Muhammadu Buhari has rejoiced with Justin Trudeau on his election as the Prime Minister of Canada. Buhari also felicitated with the Liberal Party of Canada and Canadians generally on the outcome of the Federal election in the country.
The Nigerian leader acknowledged that Nigeria-Canada trade had gone up to $948.4 million in 2018, saying that would be glad to strengthen the cordial relations with Prime Minister Trudeau  across a wide range of shared values and interests.
The President recalled that the visit of Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada, to Nigeria in October 2018, provided an opportunity for Nigeria to appreciate the humanitarian assistance of Canada to civilian populations affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.
Buhari stressed that with the common membership of Nigeria and Canada in the Global Counter Terrorism Forum and several other international organisations, both countries will continue to stand together on issues of peace and security that guarantee a better and more secure world for all.
