The Moroccan Ambassador to Nigeria, His Excellency Moha Ouali Tagma, paid a heartfelt condolence visit to Tein Jack-Rich, President of Belemaoil Group, at his Abuja residence. The visit was in response to the passing of Jack-Rich’s uncle, Dr. Harrison Tiger.
During the visit, Ambassador Tagma expressed his deepest sympathies to Jack-Rich, describing him as a friend, philanthropist, and partner who deserves support and attention from good friends and allies. Having spent the last eight years in Nigeria, Ambassador Tagma highlighted the strong bond between Morocco and Nigeria, particularly in the economic sector.
“Morocco is a new destination for investment, and we are proud to be a great partner to Nigeria,” he said. “All Nigerians want to do business with the Moroccans, and we look forward to continuing our fruitful collaboration.” To further strengthen this bond, Ambassador Tagma revealed that Morocco has signed an agreement to form the Nigeria/Morocco Friendship Group, underscoring Nigeria’s deep interest in fostering a robust relationship with Morocco.
Jack-Rich expressed his happiness for the condolence visit and described the Moroccan Ambassador as a good friend. He emphasized the importance of African partnership and intra-African trade for economic growth. “Africa must partner with itself, trade with itself to grow the African soil economically,” he stated.
Aluta News reports that the condolence visit from the Moroccan Ambassador was one of many received by Jack-Rich from prominent Nigerians, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Governor of Kano State, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. These visits demonstrate the respect and admiration that Nigerians have for Jack-Rich and his family.
