The British
High Commissioner to Nigeria Paul Arkwright has stated the United Kingdom is
behind one and indivisible Nigeria.
Arkwright
made this affirmation at a public lecture titled “Brexit: Lessons, Challenges
and Opportunities for Nigeria”, at the Federal University, Lokoja, on Thursday.
Speaking on
the position of Britain on the groups pushing to break from Nigeria, the envoy
said the UK remained firm in its support for one Nigeria.
He noted
that the unity of Nigeria should not be negotiable, stressing that the country
will be better under one umbrella.
“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 said
Britain would support Nigeria in the areas of education and business
development.
He said, “We
will strive to increase our market by encouraging more investments in Nigeria.”
Meanwhile,
the Presidency had revealed that the British Government will give the Federal
Government information about Nigerians who own property in their country next
year.
