Ahead of his inauguration on May 29, a former British Prime
Minister, Tony Blair, has visited the Nigerian President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
During the visit on Tuesday in Abuja, Blair expressed
readiness to support Tinubu’s incoming administration to succeed.
The former British Prime Minister said the Tony Blair
Institute for Global Change would partner with Tinubu’s administration in
prioritising its goals and delivery.
Blair said he met Tinubu due to the institute’s project in
Nigeria, adding that the meeting would enable him understand the incoming
administration’s priorities.
Blair told Tinubu: “We would like to help in any way with
your administration. We only need to know what the leadership priorities are
and help in how to actualise them.”
He applauded Tinubu’s campaign for focusing on key areas of
security, economy, agriculture and power.
The former British Prime Minister expressed optimism that
with the appetite shown by investors to invest in Nigeria, the Tinubu
administration could get the support it needs to spur economic development in
the country.
Responding, Tinubu thanked Blair for the visit and for
offering to work with his incoming administration.
