The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, has said the United Kingdom is impressed by the security strategies President Tinubu has put in place over the last one year.
According to him, the United Kingdom has also observed transparency and accountability in governance in the Tinubu administration, while restating the support of the UK for the Nigerian government in this direction.
The UK Envoy spoke on Friday during a High-level Dialogue on Delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda on the theme, “Nigeria’s Global Ambitions: From Hope to Reality,” in Abuja.
“I’d like to use this opportunity to express the whole lot of support of my government to the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu. We commend his agenda for its focus on priorities and delivery. We acknowledge that you have done a lot to put in place transparency and accountability.”
Vice President Kashim Shettima at the event said the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is a transformative policy thrust aimed at repositioning Nigeria as a prime global investment destination.
He said with the agenda hinged on the core pillars of democracy, development, demographics, and diaspora engagement, the present moment serves as the opportune time to remind both Nigerians and the global community that Nigeria stands ready to embrace the future and conduct business.
The VP outlined the administration’s ambitious roadmap, noting President Tinubu’s commitment to bold reforms and strategic partnerships to revive the nation’s economy and enhance security.
He said, “Our reason for this gathering is less about the certainty of our vision for this nation. This has never been in doubt. We are here because of our place in a world of opportunities—a world that can’t afford to neglect or underestimate our place.
“The Renewed Hope Agenda is not just a policy framework; it is a statement of commitment, a covenant between us and the people.”
