According to the British High Commissioner, the UK government has seen a lot of positivity in Nigeria’s economy, particularly new opportunities being created by the difficult but necessary reforms undertaken by President Bola Tinubu.
According to the First Lady’s spokesperson, Busola Kukoyi, Montgomery said his home Government was impressed by the track record of RHI as a special purpose vehicle delivering empowerment to women in key areas, especially in Education, Health and Humanitarian.
The British High Commissioner noted that these reforms and moves have led to enhanced trade partnerships between the two nations.

Responding, Mrs. Tinubu assured her guests that the Government and the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, would continue to work towards meeting the challenges of Nigerians.

She agreed with her guests that the number of women in the National Assembly was dwindling and promised to join with ongoing process to improve the numbers.
