Speaking in Madrid during an interview with Idealplusgist Correspondent, Amb. Tella emphasized the strategic importance of strengthening diplomatic, economic, and socio-cultural ties between Nigeria and Spain.

These roles, he said, demonstrate a strong track record of leadership, integrity, and administrative excellence.
“Prof. Isaac Adewole is a seasoned administrator and a respected global health expert with vast international exposure,” Amb. Tella stated. “His wealth of experience, credibility, and diplomatic disposition would undoubtedly strengthen Nigeria’s presence in Spain and foster deeper collaboration in trade, education, healthcare, and investment.”
Amb. Tella further stressed the growing importance of Spain as a strategic partner within the European Union, noting that enhanced diplomatic engagement could unlock new opportunities for Nigerian businesses, students, and professionals residing in Spain. He expressed confidence that Prof. Adewole’s global network and proven leadership would facilitate productive dialogue and long-term partnerships between both countries.
The APC Spain Chairman reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigerian diaspora community in Spain to supporting initiatives that advance Nigeria’s national interest and strengthen bilateral relations.
He called on President Tinubu to leverage experienced technocrats and respected statesmen like Prof. Adewole in advancing Nigeria’s foreign policy objectives.
Amb. Tella concluded by expressing optimism that such an appointment would not only consolidate diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Spain but also promote greater cooperation in areas of economic development, healthcare innovation, educational exchange, and cultural integration.
