The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, has expressed delight over recent economic decisions taken by President Bola Tinubu.
Montgomery stated this on Wednesday after he met with Vice President Kashim Shettima in Abuja.
He said businesses in the United Kingdom are “responding very positively” to the first policies of the President Bola Tinubu administration, including fuel subsidy removal and unification of foreign exchange rates.
He said the removal of the petrol subsidy and the exchange rate reforms by the new government are “big economic decisions” being noticed worldwide, adding that they are essential to attract investments into Nigeria.
Montgomery expressed confidence that the reforms of the new administration in Nigeria would help place the country on a more excellent path.
“The big issue is that these reforms help out Nigeria on a higher, greater path, will attract more investments, and the United Kingdom and the City of London see Nigeria as a big opportunity going forward,” he said.
