The British government has once again vowed to make sure that Nigeria remains one, despite the continuous clamour for an independent Biafran nation by the people of South East and South South of the country.
According to Paul Arkwright, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, the United Kingdom is behind one and indivisible Nigeria.
Arkwright made this affirmation at a public lecture titled: “Brexit: Lessons, Challenges and Opportunities for Nigeria”, at the Federal University, Lokoja, on Thursday April 6.
The envoy while speaking on the position of Britain on the groups agitating to break away from Nigeria, said the UK remained firm in its support for one Nigeria.
He said: “The strength of Nigeria is not in her money or oil but her greatest asset remains her well-endowed and resourceful people,” Arkwright said.
He said Britain would support Nigeria in the areas of education and business development.
“We will strive to increase our market by encouraging more investments in Nigeria,” he added.
