As Namibia marks 35 years of freedom and self-determination, Nigeria joins the global community in celebrating this significant milestone in Namibia’s history. Namibia’s journey to independence on March 21, 1990, remains a testament to the resilience and unwavering spirit of its people in the face of adversity. Nigeria is proud to have played a pivotal role in supporting Namibia’s struggle for liberation, standing in solidarity with the Namibian people during their fight for freedom, justice, and equality.
Since gaining independence, Namibia has made remarkable strides in fostering peace, democracy, and sustainable development. The country’s commitment to good governance, economic growth, and regional integration serves as an inspiration to the African continent and beyond.
