Morocco seeks partnership with Abuja
Morocco’s ambassador to Nigeria, Moha Tagma, has sought a partnership between Rabat and Abuja.
Tagma sought the partnership when he visited FCT minister Nyesom Wike, in Abuja on Thursday.
He said that the citizens of Morocco living in Abuja have considered themselves citizens of Abuja, describing it as very beautiful and one of the best capital cities in Africa.
“As you know, for many years now, our relationship is very, very excellent, and we want to develop this relationship not only at the level of the federal government but also with your territory.
“So, I want to invite you officially to Morocco. I will transmit to you the official invitation and I hope that you can pay this visit to Morocco as soon as possible.
“We will be very happy to receive you in Morocco, to meet your counterpart in our capital city and many members of the government of Morocco,” he said.
The ambassador informed the FCT minister that the government of Morocco had concluded plans to commence construction of its embassy in Abuja and sought his assistance to begin as soon as possible.
“We have now signed a contract with the company that will construct the building, and we are waiting for the facilities that the FCT will provide for us in the area allocated to us for the project,” he said.
Responding, Mr Wike accepted the invitation to visit Rabat and “see what we can do to partner between the two cities.”
