\"Angola<\/p>\n

The Angola Embassy in Nigeria has commended Nigeria\u2019s support for the country\u2019s independence, attained in 1975.<\/p>\n

Dr Jos\u00e9 Zau, Angola\u2019s Head of Mission to Nigeria, Benin, Niger and ECOWAS, said this at the celebration of the 51st anniversary of independence on Wednesday night in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Zau described relations between the two countries as a strategic, historic and fraternal partnership, anchored in political alignment as leading African oil producers.<\/p>\n

He said Nigeria played a significant role in supporting Angola\u2019s independence process and the consolidation of the Angolan state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the Bilateral Joint Commission, the two nations have been updating and expanding dozens of agreements and memoranda of understanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese cover trade, transport, culture, professional training, defence and public order, cybersecurity, and academic exchange,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He cited a visa-exemption agreement for holders of diplomatic and official passports, and twinning partnerships between Angolan provinces and Nigerian states, as measures to deepen ties.<\/p>\n

The twinning pairs the Namibe and Bengo provinces with the Bayelsa and Nasarawa states, he said.<\/p>\n

He said relations were strengthened by engagement between Angolan President Jo\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o and Nigerian President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Zau said the Caculo Caba\u00e7a Dam would become operational in June 2027, with the capacity to generate at least 2,172 megawatts (MW).<\/p>\n

He said the dam would raise Angola\u2019s total capacity from 6,400 MW to about 8,600 MW. He also highlighted the country\u2019s achievements in 2026. (NAN)<\/p>\n
