Britain Vows To Keep One Nigeria – British High Commission To Nigeria
Paul Arkwright, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, says the United Kingdom has always desired an indivisible Nigeria.
He was speaking at a public lecture titled Brexit: Lessons, Challenges and Opportunities for Nigeria at the Federal University, Lokoja, on Thursday.
And when asked about his country’s stance on the groups pushing for independence from Nigeria, the envoy said the UK remained firm in its support for one Nigeria.
“The strength of Nigeria is not in her money or oil but her greatest asset remains her well-endowed and resourceful people,” Arkwright said.
He added that Britain would help the most populated nation in Africa in the areas of education and business development.
Arkwright further said Brexit would not change the relationship between the UK and Nigeria.
“We will strive to increase our market by encouraging more investments in Nigeria,” he said.
