The Federal Government of Nigeria extends warm felicitations to the United Republic of Tanzania as the country commemorates Union Day on April 26.

Union Day marks the historic unification of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964, a landmark achievement that laid the foundation for national cohesion, political stability, and socio-economic development in Tanzania. This occasion stands as a testament to the foresight, unity, and enduring spirit of the Tanzanian people in building a strong and united nation.

Nigeria commends Tanzania for its sustained commitment to peace, democratic governance, and regional cooperation within East Africa and across the continent. The country’s contributions to peacekeeping, conflict resolution, and development initiatives continue to reinforce Africa’s collective aspirations for stability and prosperity.

Nigeria and Tanzania enjoy cordial and mutually beneficial relations, strengthened through cooperation in trade, education, culture, tourism, and multilateral engagement. Both countries continue to collaborate actively within the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN), and other international platforms to promote sustainable development, regional integration, and global peace.

On this significant occasion, Nigeria reaffirms its commitment to deepening bilateral relations with Tanzania and expanding areas of cooperation for the mutual benefit of both nations.

The Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria extend their best wishes to the Government and people of the United Republic of Tanzania for continued unity, peace, and national development.
