The British Government has revealed its intention to partner with Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide.
The government wants to partner with Ohaneze in business, investment, agriculture and others to develop the South-East region.
This was disclosed by the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr Richard Montgomery.
Montgomery said this when he paid a visit to the leaders of the Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide at the organization’s Headquarters in Enugu.
He insisted that the UK already had a long-time development partnership with Enugu State on health, education and economy, and promised to improve the relationship to build the region.
He said:
“I understand the challenges this region faces and the opportunities which we can build and also share sentiment to sustain the long relationship with this region and the United Kingdom.
“We will look into the issues and see what we can do and will engage in various development programmes for the region.
“The Business Council, which the President General, Chief Iwuanyanwu said he will establish, as well as agriculture services and industries, are areas of interest to us.
“And we are working on how to boost trade between Nigeria and UK, increase incentives for investment and opportunities between the two countries”.
