Boris Johnson, UK prime minister, says his country is
available to help Nigeria in fighting insecurity.
According to a statement by Femi Adesina, presidential
spokesperson, Johnson gave President Muhammadu Buhari the assurance on Thursday
at a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Global Education Summit in
London, UK.
Adesina said Buhari and Johnson assessed the war against
different forms of terrorism in Nigeria and agreed that the judicial process
must be allowed to run its course.
He said the two leaders concluded that it is important that
the judicial process runs without interference, no matter who’s involved.
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.
On his part, Johnson pledged Britain’s preparedness to lend
a helping hand.
“We are available to help,” Adesina quoted him as saying.
The leaders also discussed the leadership of the
Commonwealth, how to increase trade between the two countries, develop solar
and wind power, and other issues.
Buhari had on Monday travelled to London to participate in
the summit.
The summit is co-hosted by Boris Johnson and President Uhuru
Kenyatta of Kenya.
After the summit, the president is expected to spend a few
days in London for an earlier scheduled medical check-up and is due back by the
second week of August.
