New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to visit Nigeria for a two-day tour of the country. This was revealed by the Consul-General of Nigeria in New York, Ambassador Lot Egopija, who disclosed that the mayor would be attending the Nigeria Governors’ Forum meeting in Abuja during his visit.

The trip is part of the mayor’s tour of Africa and is aimed at promoting cultural and commercial ties between New York and Nigeria. One of the key objectives of the visit is to establish a sister city relationship between Abuja and New York. A sister city relationship is a form of legal or social agreement between two geographically and politically distinct localities aimed at promoting cultural and commercial ties.

During his visit, Mayor Adams will also be paying a courtesy call on the Minister of Foreign Affairs and meeting with the business community in the FCT. The visit is expected to provide an opportunity for the mayor to explore areas of collaboration with Nigeria in the areas of education, fire service, medical support, and other social services.

According to Ambassador Egopija, the mayor has expressed interest in promoting cultural engagement between the two cities. In particular, he has taken note of the Consul-General’s suggestion to promote the “Seki dance,” a traditional dance troupe from Nigeria. The Seki dance troupe has similarities with America’s Tap dance, which has been attributed to coming from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.

The mayor’s visit is expected to further strengthen the ties between Nigeria and New York City, particularly in the areas of trade and investment. It is also expected to provide an opportunity for Nigerian businesses to explore investment opportunities in New York and the United States.

The Consul-General of Nigeria in New York, Ambassador Egopija, expressed delight at the mayor’s visit, saying it would help to deepen the cultural and economic ties between Nigeria and the United States. He also expressed optimism that the visit would lead to the establishment of a sister city relationship between Abuja and New York, which would benefit both cities.

The Nigeria Governors’ Forum meeting is an important forum for governors of Nigeria’s 36 states to discuss issues of national importance and proffer solutions. Mayor Adams’ attendance at the meeting underscores the importance of Nigeria to the United States and highlights the growing interest of American businesses in the Nigerian economy.

In recent years, Nigeria has become a major destination for foreign investment, particularly in the areas of technology, agriculture, and infrastructure. The country has also taken steps to improve its business environment and attract foreign investors.

The mayor’s visit is expected to further boost Nigeria’s image as a viable investment destination and strengthen the ties between Nigeria and the United States. It is also expected to open new opportunities for collaboration between the two countries in areas of mutual interest.
