The Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima on Wednesday played host to the British High Commissioner to the country, Richard Montgomery at the State House, Abuja.
The visit is the first official meeting between the two leaders after the inauguration of the Bola Tinubu-administration on May 29, 2023.
Speaking with State House correspondents after the meeting, Montgomery lauded the courage of President Bola Tinubu for removing fuel subsidy, describing the move and other economic policies of the administration as the right step forward.
The British High Commissioner added that the meeting with the vice president of Nigeria was fruitful, as it focussed on how to ramp up bilateral relations between the two countries, particularly in the area of boosting economic engagements.
He noted that the big economic decisions that have been taken by the current administration have not only been noticed around the world, but hold a lot of potential for foreign investments.
