United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the British Government is ready to help Nigeria overcome its security challenges.
Johnson gave the assurance on Thursday at a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Global Education Summit in London.
Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, said in a statement that President Muhammadu Buhari and UK counterpart assessed the war against different forms of terrorism in Nigeria and agreed that the judicial process must be allowed to run its course.
The statement said the two leaders concluded that it is important that the judicial process runs without interference, no matter who is involved.
It said Buhari briefed the UK prime minister on Nigeria’s power needs and efforts being made, as well as initiatives geared at achieving food security.
“He also reviewed the security situation in the different regions of the country, while PM Johnson pledged Britain’s preparedness to lend a helping hand,” the statement said.
“The two leaders equally discussed how to increase trade between the two countries, develop solar and wind power, leadership of the Commonwealth going forward and other matters of mutual interest.”
