Nigeria and Burundi established diplomatic relations in 1963 and regards each other as important strategic partners. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties, the all-dimensional and high-quality cooperation between Nigeria and Burundi have been a good example for African cooperation. The brotherhood and friendship between Nigeria and Burundi have delivered tangible benefits to the two countries.

The Embassy of Nigeria in Bujumbura was established in May 2007. Over the years, the relations between the two countries have remained cordial and strong. The Embassy is firmly committed to deepening and expanding these relations to the mutual benefit of the two countries and their peoples. We resolve to also improve consular services to Nigerians resident in Burundi.
