Foreign Affairs Minister Amb. Yusuf Tuggar led Nigeria’s heartfelt tribute Sunday to Angola’s former Vice-President Fernando “Nando” Santos, hailing him as a liberation war hero, post-independence powerhouse and architect of modern Angola through roles from Vice-Minister to National Assembly President sharing profound grief with Angolan kin over a true African pillar of unity and progress.
Tuggar, via spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa, spotlighted Santos’ lifelong public service steering Angola’s turbulent history, echoing continental dreams of reconciliation and dev—extending President Bola Tinubu’s and all Nigerians’ sympathies to President João Lourenço, the family and Angola’s people, praying for eternal rest amid this national loss.
This solidarity nod underscores Naija-Angola bonds, celebrating a voice that shaped Southern Africa’s stability while fueling pan-African peace pushes.
