President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Mr Mark Joseph Carney on the Liberal Party’s victory in the recent Canadian parliamentary elections and his election as the 24th Prime Minister.
Tinubu, in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga on Tuesday, acknowledged the significance of the hard-fought electoral triumph at a time when the country needs a leader with a wealth of experience.
Carney, a seasoned economist, was Governor of the Bank of Canada between 2008 and 2013 and Bank of England from 2013 to 2020.
President Tinubu hopes that Carney’s banking and governance experience will guide the country at this crucial moment in its history.
He expressed Nigeria’s commitment to deepening relations between the two nations, particularly in education, climate change, and migration.
The President said he looks forward to establishing a dynamic and forward-looking partnership with Prime Minister Carney’s government, building on the goodwill and cooperation established under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
