Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari is soliciting a better engagement with the United Kingdom (UK) government to invest in Nigeria for better employment opportunities for the country’s highly-skilled youths. The Nigeria president, however, expressed optimism that a new free trade agreement will present new opportunities for both countries, where his country has a great deal to offer. Greater access would also be forthcoming to one of the world’s fastest expanding groups of consumers – the Nigerian middle classes,” Buhari said. Buhari urged the two Commonwealth countries- Nigeria and the UK with other members to deliver more collectively to become a multilateral-free trade zone. Buhari asked the countries to “work together from this common platform to better align regulations on investment, certification and trade.”
