"It is an honour for me to welcome Director Christopher Wray, the leader of an organisation that has exhibited sustained procedural sophistication and a reputation for excellence throughout the years.
Your visit highlights the significance of Nigeria and Nigerian partnership in the work of American law enforcement institutions, as well as vice versa. For us, it is an acknowledgment of where we are, who we are, and the level of interest both countries have in eradicating crime locally and globally," the president stated.
