Catriona Laing, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, voiced hope in Nigeria's ability to overcome its present economic and security issues on Monday in Benin.
While giving a speech at a state luncheon held in her honor, Laing provided the promise.
"I am extremely convinced that Nigeria will get through this terrible era," she said, adding that the economy is going through a severe phase of insecurity.
"I am a Nigeria optimist, and I believe Edo will pave the way for Nigeria to get to where it needs to be." You have a governor who is a force to be reckoned with, and I am rather remarkable.
"I admire how he combined schooling with information and communications technology," she remarked. "Honestly, Edo, you have tremendous abilities."
Governor Godwin Obaseki hailed the British High Commissioner to Nigeria for the state's tremendous assistance over the previous several years in his comments.
"I'd want to express my gratitude for the substantial assistance you've provided us in recent years, notably in the areas of forestry and technology." We've received funding to support our programs, and those funds have gone a long way toward stabilizing and bringing resources, especially technical aid.
"As we embark on our 30-year growth plan, we hope to strengthen our ties with nations like yours, and we are particularly interested in extending our ties in the field of technical education."
"As a technological country in the globe, we are highly interested in collaborating with you to assist us enhance our goal to become Nigeria's Silicon Valley."
"We wish to express our gratitude for your assistance in our battle against human trafficking and illegal migration. We had a lot of success before the COVID-19 epidemic, which prompted more individuals to migrate.
"We're demanding in our new migration dialogues that while we're doing everything we can to fight human trafficking and irregular migration, we also need to collaborate and open doors for normal migration," he added.
