Nigeria and Germany have reaffirmed their long-standing bilateral relationship with renewed commitments to cooperation across strategic sectors, including energy, trade and migration.
The Deputy Chair, SPD Parliamentary Group in the Germany Bundestag, Berlin, Armand Zorn, said Germany is set to deepen its relationship with Nigeria, expected to affect key areas across key sectors such as energy, trade, and migration governance.
Zorn, who said this during a meeting with the labour, organised by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) in Lagos, said Germany reaffirmed its recognition of Nigeria as a strategic partner in sub-Saharan Africa, noting that Nigeria is its second-largest trading partner in the region.
Discussions focused on expanding economic cooperation, enhancing development partnerships, and creating structured legal pathways for migration.
According to Zorn, Germany considers Nigeria as an important partner for advancing regional stability, democratic governance and economic progress in West Africa.
