*Spain to collaborate with Nigeria in insecurity fight*Sylva seeks help to tackle insecurity in oil sectorAs Nigeria heads to the polls next month, President Muhammadu Buhari has again warned foreign diplomats in the country against meddling in the nation’s politics.
Buhari, according to a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Mr. Femi Adesina, asked the new foreign diplomats to keep their activities and concerns within the limits of their calling and the reasons for being sent to Nigeria. He called for cooperation and collaboration from the countries to overcome challenges in West Africa.
“As you settle down to your diplomatic responsibilities, I am hopeful that you will appreciate the political, socio-economic and cultural diversities, which are the hallmarks of the Nigerian nation. Buhari also acknowledged the support of the respective countries in his government’s move to deal with kidnapping, banditry, terrorism, drugs and human trafficking, as well as the threats posed by environmental challenges, resulting from climate change in the Lake Chad Region.
Responding on behalf of his colleagues, the Ambassador of Switzerland promised the Nigerian President that they would exercise, ‘‘their functions as Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary with dedication, to the best of their knowledge and belief, and for the mutual benefit of our countries.’’
Meanwhile, the government of Spain has pledged its commitment to help Nigeria tackle the rising state of insecurity across the country. “Spain is one of the best clients of Nigeria in the world. Very specifically, we are the second client of Nigeria in the world. We have been one of the largest clients in gas and petroleum for a long time.
Responding, Onyeama appreciated his counterpart, saying both countries would continue to work together, especially in the area of the economy. The award, which was presented by the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, was received by the wife of the late Ambassador, Wosilat Seriki, and his son, Wale Demola-Seriki.
Speaking when he received the visiting minister of Foreign Affairs, Spain, Jose Manuel Albares, in Abuja, Sylva described insecurity as the biggest problem besetting the oil sector in Nigeria today.
