French Envoy Insists Insecurity Hampering Nigeria’s Economy

Blatmann, who has been withdrawn from Nigeria to take up the position of Director for Africa and the Indian Ocean at French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, said: “Nigeria should solve the security challenges and see how many businesses would roll in.”

The envoy while narrating what Nigeria should have gained had there been no challenges with security in the country, noted that countries in Europe were looking to Nigeria to solved their energy problem as a result of the war in Ukraine but had to seek solution elsewhere because the country could not provide the needed energy as a result of insecurity and the activities of oil bunkers.
