​Nigeria’s newly deployed Ambassador to the United States, Ambassador Kayode Are, has expressed strong optimism regarding a projected official meeting between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and US President Donald Trump in Washington.

​Speaking during an interview on Inside Sources with Laolu Akande on Channels Television, the ambassador provided insights into the status of Nigeria-US diplomatic relations:

  • ​Optimism for a Presidential Visit: Ambassador Are noted that while presidential itineraries are highly complex and determined by multiple strategic factors, he is actively working to ensure President Tinubu undertakes an official state visit to Washington during his tenure. He stated, "With the excellent relations between the two, I'm sure we will be able to get that done one way or the other."

  • ​Active Diplomatic Channels: Even though both presidents have not been seen together physically in recent times, the ambassador emphasized that there is currently a "good level of contacts and engagements from top to bottom" between the Nigerian and US governments.
  • ​Rebuilding Institutional Momentum: Ambassador Are, who recently presented his Letter of Credence to President Trump at the White House, noted the critical importance of his assignment, especially since Nigeria operated without a substantive ambassador to the US for three years. He emphasized that restoring institutional momentum takes time but is vital for advancing national interests.

  • ​Strategic Objectives: An official high-level meeting is expected to consolidate the strategic partnership between both nations. Key agenda items on the horizon include deepening political and economic cooperation, expanding trade, boosting foreign investments, and strengthening joint counter-terrorism and security collaborations.

  • ​Addressing Visa and Immigration Challenges: The ambassador also touched on the strict US immigration policies affecting Nigerians seeking visas for business, education, and family visits. He assured that while representation alone cannot completely erase visa challenges, sustained diplomatic engagements will help create better conditions for Nigerian travelers.
