The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Royal Highness King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, have extended their warm congratulations to President Bola Tinubu on the occasion of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day anniversary.
In a formal message to President Tinubu, King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed their best wishes for the Nigerian leader’s health and happiness, as well as their hopes for Nigeria’s ongoing development.
“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and we wish him good health, as well as continuous progress and prosperity for the government and people of Nigeria,” the message read.
The congratulatory message underscores the strong diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, which have flourished over the years. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman highlighted the importance of maintaining and strengthening these international relations, adding that the Kingdom remains committed to supporting Nigeria’s growth on the global stage.
“Our relationship with Nigeria is built on mutual respect and a shared vision for development, and we look forward to further collaboration in the future,” the Crown Prince noted.
Nigeria, which gained independence from British colonial rule on October 1, 1960, is celebrating its 64th anniversary this year. The nation continues to build on its rich history while striving for economic and social progress, with leaders like President Tinubu pushing for reforms aimed at ensuring sustainable development.

The congratulatory note from the Saudi leadership is seen as a reflection of the shared commitment to fostering strong international relations, with hopes that the ties between the two countries will grow even stronger in the years to come.
