Always respect culture, traditional institutions, MBuhari tells UK diplomat | TheCable
The president gave the advice on Thursday when he received letters of credence from the UK high commissioner and Velupillai Kananathan, his counterpart from the Democratic Republic of Sri Lanka.
“I like the way our traditional rulers and institutions are being respected in spite of the changing times, education and rising materialism,” Buhari said.“There is a lot to learn from our cultures and the traditional institutions are the custodians, and they should be respected by all.” Buhari told the British diplomat that a good understanding of cultural differences and respect for institutions paved the way for most of the successes of the UK.
In his remarks, Montgomery said the UK have always held Nigeria and its cultural institutions in high esteem.
