UK trade minister, Kemi Badenoch, in Nigeria on 3-day trip

The UK Minister for Business and Trade, Kemi Badenoch, has arrived in Nigeria to begin a three-day visit to deepen the UK-Nigeria partnership.

Ndidiamaka Eze, the Senior Press and Public Affairs Officer at the UK High Commission in Nigeria, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

Following the former Foreign Secretary’s visit to Nigeria in August, 2023, and last week’s UK-Nigeria Security and Defence Talks, Minister Badenoch’s visit will take forward ongoing efforts by both countries to boost the UK-Nigeria trade relationship and unlock new investment opportunities.

While in Nigeria, Badenoch and the Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Nigeria, Helen Grant, will have meetings with the Federal Government of Nigeria, governors, as well as British and Nigerian business leaders and investors.
