On 18 September, Nigerians and other nationals were treated to the rich culinary heritage of Nordic countries at a food fest hosted by Nordic countries’ embassies in Abuja. Excluding Iceland, which does not have a diplomatic presence in Nigeria, the other Nordic nations—Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden—came together to offer a one-stop experience of diverse Nordic cuisine. The Nordic ambassadors in Nigeria highlighted their shared centuries-old cultural and economic heritage, discussing innovations and food solutions they are offering to the world.
The event, held at the residence of the Norwegian Ambassador in Sunrise Hill Estate, Asokoro, illustrated the deep connection between food and culture, celebrating both the diversity and convergence of Nigerian and Nordic cultures.
Guests were warmly welcomed by the ambassadors: Sanna Selin (Finland), Annika Hahn-Englund (Sweden), Jens Hansen (Denmark), and Svein Baera (Norway).
