Nigeria, UK To Deepen Economic Relations, Says Tinubu As British Airways Marks 90 Years
President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to deepening economic relations with the United Kingdom, particularly in the aviation sector and other mutually beneficial areas.
The President gave the assurance on Wednesday when he met with a delegation from British Airways led by the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Richard Montgomery, and the Commercial Officer of British Airways, Mr. Colm Lacy, at the State House, Abuja.
Tinubu, while highlighting the longstanding and productive partnership between both countries, noted that Nigeria places great value on its strategic relationship with Britain.
The President particularly reflected on his recent visit to the United Kingdom and the reception he received from the Royal Family.
He assured the delegation that the partnership would continue to create opportunities for growth, investment, and shared prosperity.
According to the President: “It is a very great joy to share with you this afternoon. The transformation and strengthening of our relationship over the past 90 years is a milestone worthy of celebration. And I still relish the memory of my last visit to Great Britain and the wonderful reception I received from His Majesty King Charles III. I will forever cherish that memory.
“We also hold in high regard our relationship with His Majesty the King. His long-standing commitment to sustainability and to strengthening the Commonwealth, particularly the relationship between Nigeria and Great Britain, must continue to enhance cooperation that aligns with our own national priorities.
“I assure you we will continue to do that, and this engagement confirms the bilateral relations that we have enjoyed over the years. Our forebears wanted us to continue.”
