Shalom!
Welcome to the Embassy of Israel's website. This is your access-point for communicating with the Embassy of Israel in Nigeria, it is also a window to Israel-Nigeria relations.
It is with great pleasure that I extend warm greetings to each and every citizen of Nigeria on behalf of the State of Israel.
Over the years, Israel and Nigeria have forged strong diplomatic ties rooted in mutual respect, shared values, and a commitment to prosperity and peace. Our partnership has transcended geographical boundaries, encompassing diverse fields such as agriculture, technology, security, and cultural exchange. Through collaboration and cooperation, we have witnessed remarkable achievements that have positively impacted the lives of our citizens.
From agricultural innovations empowering farmers to technological advancements enhancing connectivity, our joint efforts have laid the foundation for a brighter future for both nations.
It is my intention, with the incredible team that we have here at the embassy, to further strengthen and develop the diplomatic ties between our countries and peoples. Together, we can overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and build a better world for generations to come.
