‘How Nigeria can reap post-Brexit benefits’

A politician and historian, Dr. Umar Ardo, has outlined development opportunities Nigeria and other commonwealth countries can grab from a post-Brexit United Kingdom.

Ardo in an article titled “Post Brexit Commonwealth Opportunity for Nigeria” argued that with the new conservative government under Boris Johnson, the UK would look towards the commonwealth and other blocks for economic and political alliance.

He said the strategy is premised upon the Nigerian government having a post-Brexit U.K government cooperating with Nigeria and other member-states to resuscitate the Commonwealth Group into a strong political, economic and strategic union for mutual developmental benefits.

Ardo noted that the new strategic cooperation could lead Nigeria to realizing critical goals in the areas of democracy and good governance, education, technology transfer and security, indicating that the new cooperation could bring about economic growth, funding for infrastructure, investment flow to Nigeria as well as enhanced security and solution to migration problems.
