Vice President Kashim Shettima has called for a strengthened cooperation between Nigeria and Tanzania in shared aspirations for continental growth and unity.

This, he said, has become necessary since Nigeria shares historic ties with Tanzania, particularly in their roles as frontline states in the fight against apartheid and colonialism.

The Vice President stated this on Tuesday when he received former Tanzanian President, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Praising Tanzania’s leadership legacy, VP Shettima, in a statement by his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, said: “Tanzania is one of Africa’s success stories. From Julius Nyerere to Samia Suluhu Hassan, the country has been blessed with exceptional leaders. Tanzania stands as a beacon of hope and stability in East Africa.”

The Vice President said it was important to foster stronger economic and social ties between the two nations, especially within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

“With the discovery of significant gas reserves, Tanzania is on a fast track to development. If key African nations like Nigeria and Tanzania succeed, the entire continent will benefit,” he said.

He also praised the Tanzanian government’s support for Nigerian businesses in Tanzania, citing companies like United Bank for Africa, Guaranty Trust Bank, Dangote, among many others.

Earlier, former President Kikwete, who was in Nigeria for the convocation ceremony at the National Defence College (NDC), expressed the readiness of his country to strengthen business and diplomatic ties with Nigeria.

“We value the friendship and cooperation between Nigeria and Tanzania and are committed to strengthening it further,” he said.

Kikwete acknowledged the role of the Nigerian National Defence College in training Tanzanian military personnel, expressing optimism for deeper ties in defense, trade and diplomacy.

Both leaders stressed the importance of revisiting outdated agreements and scaling up bilateral relations in the spirit of African solidarity.

Also present at the meeting were the Acting Tanzanian High Commissioner in Nigeria, Mrs Judica Nagunwa; Director of National and Geo-political Affairs at NDC, Ambassador Akin Oyateru; representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Baba Mohammed, and Private Secretary, office of the former President of Tanzania, Medard Ngaiza.
