President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt condolences to the government and people of India on the passing of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

A statement by the special adviser on information and strategy Bayo Onanuaga describes
Prime Minister Singh’s official visit to Nigeria in 2007 as historic.

He earned the distinct honour of addressing a joint session of the National Assembly, a privilege accorded to only a few global leaders.

President Tinubu pays tribute to Singh’s dedication to strengthening the Nigeria-India relationship, noting that his diplomatic efforts remain a reference point in the history of the bilateral relations between the two nations.

The President recounts the establishment of the Strategic Partnership between Nigeria and India under Singh’s tenure, which has continued to flourish, driving political and economic prosperity for both countries.

President Tinubu further lauds Prime Minister Singh’s efforts to forge improved cooperation in defence trade, culture, education, health, science and technology, and ICT.

Expressing gratitude to the people of India for celebrating the life and accomplishments of this selfless leader and distinguished economist, the Nigerian leader salutes Singh’s role in steering India’s economic reforms during globally challenging times.

Singh, India’s Prime Minister between 2004 and 2014, died Thursday at the age of 92.
