Tinubu and the UK Foreign Secretary meet and decide on a strategic relationship.

At their meeting at State House in Abuja, UK Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Affairs David Lammy and President Bola Tinubu reached an agreement on a strategic partnership that will improve the UK-Nigeria relationship.

The strategic partnership, which was signed by Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, will provide a framework for the UK and Nigeria to further collaboration on a number of high-priority topics, such as security, foreign policy, and economic growth.

The two countries’ pledge to establish a Nigeria-UK Bi-National Commission, which will serve as a forum for discussing matters of great mutual interest and evaluating the strategic partnership, is also confirmed by the strategic partnership.

“Nigeria is the first country I have visited in Africa as foreign secretary because our relationship is important and there are exciting opportunities to strengthen it further,” stated David Lammy, the foreign secretary.

“I am happy to announce a new strategic cooperation between Nigeria and the UK. This is a broad framework that encompasses the range of our joint efforts, from national security and job creation to addressing the climatic and environmental crises and fostering closer human ties.

In order to address the UK’s support for Nigeria’s economic reforms and potential for mutual economic progress, the foreign secretary also met with Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, and Yemi Cardoso, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The Foreign Secretary used three pillars of the UK Centre of Expertise on Public Finance to launch a package of support for Nigeria’s economic reforms during his visit.

The cooperation between Nigerian and UK institutions that are exchanging technical expertise on important reforms will help formulate tax policies based on evidence, increase tax revenues in accordance with government goals, and enhance public financial management systems to ensure that revenues are used efficiently.
