By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike has promised to collaborate with the countries of Morocco and Egypt on business prospects in areas of agriculture and skills acquisition.
Wike made this promise on Thursday when he hosted the envoys of the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Egypt respectively.

The two envoys expressed satisfaction over the prospect of Abuja collaborating with Rabat and Cairo in areas of agriculture, skills acquisition and others.

Wike while receiving the Moroccan envoy to Nigeria, Moha Ali Tagma, said that he is excited to visit Rabat to enable both capitals can have a collaborative relationship in the areas of agriculture and skills development.

Speaking on an invitation to visit Rabat, the FCT minister said, “We are sure that once we get the invitation from Rabat, like we said, we will make sure it takes place very soon.”

“So accept it that we would like to do that and know what we can do to have mutual benefit between the two cities.”

He further assured the ambassador of an allocation of land for their embassy building.

The Moroccan Ambassador, Tagma lauded Wike’s massive infrastructure development he is providing in Abuja

“ I would like to thank you for all what you are doing for us as diplomats and inhabitants of your territory. I also want to welcome you, to express you my thanks and to welcome you to Morocco one day.”

” We will be happy to receive you in an official visit to Morocco to meet your counterpart in our capital and also to many members of the government of Morocco.”

“ I want to invite you officially. I will transmit to you the official invitation by your counterpart and I hope that you can pay this visit to Morocco as soon as possible.”

The Moroccan envoy informed the minister that they have already signed a contract with the country which will build the embassy building, adding,” waiting for the facilities that the FCT will give us in this issue.”

In the same manner, the ambassador to the Republic of Egypt, Mohamed Fouad praised Wike for his developmental efforts in Abuja.

Wike who assured the ambassador of security and safety in the territory said,
“Ours is to make sure that our guests carry out their business, which is to have a very conducive environment.”
“And it would be an honor to see what we can do with Cairo in terms of partnership, particularly in the area of agriculture and vocational training. It’s very key for us.”

“I can see the drastic changes, especially when it comes to infrastructure. This is why you are duly labeled as Mr. Project and Best Minister of 2024. So, congratulations, Fouad said.
“Of course, it would be a pleasure to work on enhancing cooperation between Abuja and Cairo, especially since now in Egypt we have this new administrative capital, which is a project. So far, I think investments surpassed 50 million dollars.”
“So I think there is room for Abuja and Cairo to get closer because actually Nigeria preceded Egypt in terms of relocating capital. You have done this task maybe 40 years ago or more.”
” So we have just started this a few years ago, and I think there is a lot of experience to share between Cairo and Abuja when it comes to this, Foud assured .
