Different cultures have different ways of ending letters, from "Very respectfully," in the US military if sending a note to a superior to "Sincerely," for a common business letter to "Kindly do the needful," in ending a letter of request in other areas where English is spoken. I have no idea if that phrase is a standard way of ending a litter in Nigeria. Perhpas it is.
