President Bola Tinubu has conferred the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This honor was conferred on him on Sunday during a bilateral meeting in Aso Rock.
“The honour is to signify our appreciation of India as Nigeria’s partner,” Tinubu said.
President Tinubu received Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Sunday.
