The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has sad this administration will ensure that all embassies in Nigeria, have an unhostile environment to enable them to perform their assignments.
Wike sought huge investments from Indian investors, as part of strategies to fast-track the development of the nation’s capital.
He gave the assurance when the Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Shri Balasubramanian, visited him in Abuja on Tuesday, March 26.
Wike acknowledged the presence of many Indian companies in the country, particularly petrochemicals and fertilizer companies among others.
He said: “We would also like to have this kind of relationship in Abuja. You have seen improvement in security; you have seen improvement in infrastructure in Abuja. That is part of the “Renewed Hope” agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
“We will discuss other areas that will be of mutual interest between India and Nigeria, and Abuja in particular.
“This administration will ensure that within the purview of the FCT Administration all Embassies in Nigeria, have an unhostile environment to enable them to perform their assignments”.
Earlier, Balasubramanian said that the excellent relationship between India and Nigeria was quite old.
The Ambassador explained that India began its diplomatic relationship with Nigeria two years before the country became independent in 1958 when India established a diplomatic office in Lagos.
