India Vows To End Insecurity In Nigeria

The Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Shri Balasubramanian, on Monday, pledged his country’s readiness to provide the needed support to end insecurity in Nigeria.

The High commissioner stated this while speaking with journalists at the flag hoisting ceremony to mark the 75th independence of India, held at the High Commission of India in Abuja.

He said, “As you know, many of the defence training has been given in India; various security outfits have been trained in military installations and training institute, so we would be happy to continue the partnership in cooperation with the Nigerian government and we are ready to assist in that direction.”

He also commended the relations between the two countries, describing it as the best.

“India-Nigeria relationship is one of the best. We started our relationship even before Nigeria’s independence in 1958 when we had established our office in Lagos. Since then, our relationship has developed, we have partnered in human capacity development, we are very happy that with the cooperation of the Nigerian government, we can now say that our relationship is strong and very cordial,” he said.

The recently appointed commissioner noted that although India had invested $14.9 million in the country, he was looking forward to strengthening the relationship in all areas.

“Whether it is training or trade, economic relations, political relations, I am looking forward to improving bilateral ties in all these areas,” he added.
