The Envoy handed a letter from President Mohamed Abdelaziz to President Jonathan Goodluck related to bilateral relations between the two countries as well as the feelings of condolences and solidarity on behalf of the people and government of the Sahrawi Republic to the Nigerian government and people, following the recent treacherous terrorist act on the outskirts of the Nigerian capital which killed dozens of innocent citizens.
