UK’s watching debates on state police, gender inclusivity, others – British envoy

The British Government on Tuesday said it is following with keen interest the debates of the Nigeria’s National Assembly on the establishment of state police, gender inclusivity and poverty alleviation programmes.

The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, said this when he visited the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, at the National Assembly complex, Abuja.

Mr Montgomery specifically said he visited the senate president to understand how the Nigerian parliament is addressing the challenges of economic reforms introduced by the administration of President Bola Tinubu and the debates on constitution review.
