*Says it is a new dawn in Nigeria-Jamaica bilateral ties

The Nigerian High Commissioner to Jamaica, Dr Jane Bassey Adams, yesterday presented her letters of credence to the Governor-General of Jamaica, Sir Patrick Allen.
Speaking during the ceremony, Adams said the exercise marked a new dawn in Nigeria’s relations with Jamaica.
The envoy, who was the immediate past Acting High Commissioner to Australia, noted that her mission is to reinvigorate the bilateral relations between both countries and further translate the deep cultural affinity into robust, mutually beneficial partnerships in trade, investment, health, culture, technology, tourism and education.

“Today marks another milestone in relations between Nigeria and Jamaica, which are bound by a rich tapestry of history, shared heritage and an unbreakable kinship that has transcended the distance between our two nations.
“We are a people united by blood, culture, and a shared vision of freedom, resilience, and greatness”, she said.

Speaking earlier, the Governor-General of Jamaica, Sir Patrick Allen, acknowledged 56 years of diplomatic relations between Jamaica and Nigeria, noting that the figure alone does not adequately capture the depth of the relationship.
He expressed appreciation for Nigeria’s contribution of specialist nurses and educators to Jamaica, describing it as a reflection of the warm friendship between both countries.

He also wished the ambassador a successful tour of duty.
