Nigeria’s new ambassador to Chad, Abubakar Musa Musa, has pledged to deepen cooperation between the two countries. He highlighted their longstanding cultural, traditional and economic ties.
Musa made the remarks after presenting his letters of credence to President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno at the Toumaï Palace in N’Djamena on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
“We are not only neighbours, but we also share cultural, traditional and economic links,” Musa said.
He noted that these ties date back many years, even before the colonial era.
The ambassador said his discussions with President Mahamat Deby focused on ways to strengthen relations between the two countries.
“We both pledged that we are going to improve on that relationship,” he said, stressing that closer ties should benefit the people of both nations.
The presentation of credentials marks the formal start of an ambassador’s diplomatic mission in Chad.
