President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan said on Thursday in Abuja that his administration remains fully aware of the importance of education and is therefore doing everything possible to ensure that the nation’s youth are properly trained to contribute more significantly to national development.
Speaking at an audience with the non-resident Ambassador of Macedonia to Nigeria, Mr. Darko Angelov, 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 that he was happy to welcome Angelov, who was at the Presidential Villa to present his letters of credence as Macedonia’s first-ever Ambassador to Nigeria, adding that he looked forward to the consolidation and expansion of bilateral cooperation between Nigeria and Macedonia.
He also assured Angelov that the Federal Government will work with him and his government to establish a proper framework for the enhancement of bilateral trade and economic relations.
Angelov told Jonathan that his country was very keen on developing existing relations with Nigeria because of Nigeria’s importance on the African continent.
