President Bola Tinubu, on Monday played host to the United Kingdom Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, David Lammy, at the State House.

While the meeting lasted, Tinubu re-echoed his pledge that Nigeria is fully committed to actualising upgraded partnership agreements with the United Kingdom, especially in areas that directly impact citizens’ livelihoods, like arts, culture, trade, and security.

According to the Nigerian President the administration would support the partnership for growth.

“I am happy that Nigeria is your first port of call. We have come a long way with our shared history. The challenge we face now is a call to promote unity and inclusivity. Britain and Nigeria have a long history, and we have always cherished the relationship,” Tinubu stated.

He urged the United Kingdom to strengthen relations with Africa by showing more interest in some of the conflicts affecting countries such as the Republic of Sudan, particularly over humanitarian issues.

“We are faced with security challenges in West Africa, and we have been receiving displaced persons into the country, some from Mali and Burkina Faso. We are doing our best to bring peace.

“We are urging Britain to pay more attention to some African countries, like Sudan, apart from Ukraine. I think humanity dictates that you pay attention to some of these issues. We are ready to collaborate with you.

“Britain should do more to bring peace and stability to that part of Africa,’’ he added.

President Tinubu also told the Foreign Secretary that the economic reforms in Nigeria are progressive and geared towards long-term stimulation of the economy.

He lauded King Charles III for his warm reception at Buckingham Palace during a visit to London.

Foreign Secretary Lammy said he was in Nigeria to begin consultations on improving relations between both countries and Africa.
