“I met with the Swiss Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Patrick Egloff, and we had a productive and engaging discussion on our country’s developmental journey, with particular emphasis on the critical sectors that drive development: education, healthcare, and lifting people out of poverty,” Obi said.

He expressed appreciation to the Swiss Confederation for its continued support to Nigeria, particularly in the areas of economic development, humanitarian assistance, cultural cooperation and peace-building efforts in the North-East.

Obi said deepening collaboration with development partners based on shared values and a commitment to human development would help build a more prosperous and inclusive nation.

“Building stronger partnerships founded on shared values and a commitment to human development remains essential to creating a more prosperous and inclusive Nigeria,” he stated.

He concluded the post with his signature message: “A New Nigeria is Possible.”
