British Envoy Describes Nigerians As Enterprising, Engaging

Outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright has described Nigerians, after spending over three years in the country, as enterprising and engaging

The envoy, who said that during his stay he visited 30 out of the 36 states, said that he found the people quite enterprising and engaging and that the British government would be glad to offer a helping hand as required in any part of the country.

He thanked President Buhari for his support, adding that the relations between Britain and Nigeria have improved tremendously in the past three years.

President Buhari commended the outgoing High Commissioner for his warm and pleasant disposition, which he said, has seen him traversing almost the entire country.

“I always see you all over the place,” the President noted.

Buhari complain that Nigeria was run aground in terms of infrastructural development for 16 years by the previous government, at a time the nation was earning high income.

“Our focus now is on infrastructure; roads, rail, power, and others. How I wish we had fixed all those when we had money. What we earned between 1999 and 2014 is on record, but nothing was done to infrastructure. Now, we are doing a lot more, with a lot less resources. And we shall continue to do our best.”
