History The two nations established bilateral relations on 6 October 1970 when Edwin Ogbu was accredited as the first Nigerian high commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago. However, their shared heritage dates back much further than that. They both achieved independence from the United Kingdom in the early 1960s, and both countries are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. In recent years, the two countries have announced efforts to increase cooperation in areas such as trade and law.
