The British High Commissioner Mr. Andrew Lloyd has pledged Britain’s support to Nigeria’s challenges particularly security concerns.

Mr. Lloyd said “We have had more British ministers and officials visiting Nigeria in the last one year than we have had in past four years combined and so across the board we have a very strong and very vibrant relationship and we are going to be with Nigeria as it faces its challenges just as I am sure we are going to help Nigeria develop those opportunities which are important to Britain and the rest of the world”


The High Commissioner made the pledge while speaking with journalists at the commemoration of the commonwealth day in Abuja.

He said ” the vision of the commonwealth day for 2012 is connecting cultures which is primarily the main vision of the commonwealth itself and Britain is committed to strengthening its relationship with Nigeria for the mutual benefits of both countries. He said “in terms of diversity, because we are different and one of the strengths of the Common Wealth is that we can bridge those differences and help contribute to global understanding”
