Very pleased to meet Governor of #Kaduna State @elrufai in #Nigeria on my first overseas visit as Secretary of State @DFID_UK - discussed range of issues including education, health, economic development and the upcoming UK-Africa Investment Summit #Africa
#UK aid helping #Nigeria to help itself - having supported revitalisation of the Badwara #Health clinic, serves 300,000 people, @DFID_UK will hand over its full running to #Kaduna State government in 6 months. #UK support funded #solar panels allowing clinic to operate 24/7
Pleased to address new members of @nassnigeria tonight - Parliamentarians play a critical role in progressing national development. @DFIDNigeria Is proud to support #Nigeria through #UKAid
Extremely concerned by reports, including from @UKinnigeria observers, of military interference in the election process in Rivers State. Monitoring the situation closely. @inecng staff must be allowed to do their job in safety, without intimidation.
Incredibly pleased to see the Disability Bill has passed. This opens the door to a world of new and exciting possibilities for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) #DisabilityBill#Nigeria#PWD
I have such admiration for the campaigners, CSOs, groups and individuals who never gave up, and who championed efforts for nearly 20 years to make this dream a reality.
