The British High Commissioner to Nigeria Paul Arkwright has stated 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.
Speaking on the position of Britain on the groups pushing to break from Nigeria, the envoy said the UK remained firm in its support for one Nigeria.
He noted that the unity of Nigeria should not be negotiable, stressing that the country will be better under one umbrella.
“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.
He said, “We will strive to increase our market by encouraging more investments in Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, the Presidency had revealed that the British Government will give the Federal Government information about Nigerians who own property in that country next year.

This Britain is a mischievous country to Nigeria. They are the foundation of troubles in Nigeria by forceful amalgamation of these 3 major regions, also making some ethnic to believe they are the rulling class since they see them as dump, since these people would always yield to their instructions without thinking on their own. They also encourage Nigerian politicians who steals public funds to buy properties in their country lodging the cash in their country. I think UK need sincerely to support Nigeria & Nigerians as development of that nation will have a tremendous positive impact on UK as a colonists itself.
