The bilateral relations between the State of Qatar and the Federal Republic of Nigeria are very cordial, as there is a convergence of views on many international and regional issues. Bilateral relations have witnessed a remarkable development during the previous period, especially after the procedures for the presidential elections and President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the post of President of the Republic without violence.

The improvement of relations between the two countries was reflected in the visit of His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari to Doha, based on a kind invitation extended by His Royal Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar (May Allah protect him). A number of agreements were signed during that visit. Also, His Highness, the Amir of the country, visited the Federal Republic of Nigeria on April 23, 2019, in response to the visit of His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari to Doha
