Macedonia sends ambassador to Nigeria



President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday, said his administration is fully aware of the importance of education and is doing everything possible to ensure that the nation’s youth are properly trained to contribute significantly to national development.

Speaking at an audience with Darko Angelov, the non-resident Ambassador of Macedonia to Nigeria, Jonathan expressed the Federal Government’s appreciation of scholarships offered by the Macedonian Government for the training of some Nigerian youth in Macedonia.

The President said he was happy to welcome the envoy who presented his letters of credence as Macedonia’s first-ever Ambassador to Nigeria, adding that he looked forward to the consolidation and expansion of bilateral relations between the two countries.

In turn, Angelov told Jonathan that his country was very keen on developing existing relations with Nigeria because of Nigeria’s importance on the African continent.
