    “He tackled the challenges the developing world faced, from combating diseases to mediating conflicts and promoting democratic values.

    He exemplified grace, dignity, and a profound respect for humanity,” Tinubu said.
    The President also fondly recalled Carter’s friendship with Nigeria, particularly his efforts in eradicating Guinea worm disease and river blindness through The Carter Center.

    These initiatives have significantly improved the lives of many Nigerians.
    Tinubu reflected on Carter’s historic visit to Nigeria in March 1978, which marked a pivotal moment in U.S. foreign policy and laid the groundwork for a pragmatic relationship between the United States and Africa, with Nigeria at its heart.

    The President expressed hope that Carter’s legacy of decency, character, and humanity will continue to inspire Americans and leaders worldwide to embrace the true essence of leadership.
