The United Kingdom on Monday lauded the various economic and trade initiatives of President Bola Tinubu describing them as bold, brave and positive.
British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, thumbed up the Tinubu administration while on a courtesy visit to the wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu at the State House, Abuja.
According to the British envoy, the UK government sees a lot of positivity in Nigeria’s economy, particularly new opportunities being created by the difficult but necessary reforms undertaken by President Tinubu.
He said his home Government is impressed by the track record of RHI as a special purpose vehicle delivering empowerment to women in key areas especially in Education, Health and Humanitarian.
The British High Commissioner noted that these reforms and moves have led to enhanced trade partnership between the two nations. Montgomery noted that the UK government is also paying attention to the ongoing Constitutional Amendment and calls for Special Seats for Women in the National Assembly.
In her response, the First Lady assured her guests that the Government and the Renewed Hope Initiative, which is inline with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu will continue to work towards meeting the challenges of Nigerians.
She said, “I believe we can help each other, if we really show concern. RHI focuses also on women empowerment in the informal sector. These are the ones we are touching their lives directly”.
She agreed with her guests that the number of women in the National Assembly is dwindling and promised to join the ongoing process to improve the numbers.
According to Mrs Tinubu, “We have to really know the right people to represent us, who can really do the work and that is what we have to enlighten our women about”.
