The Minister of Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike, has said that he has no constitutional powers to determine Nigeria’s diplomatic relations with other countries, as such powers lie absolutely with the President and Commander-in-Chief, Bola Tinubu.
“Any foreign body that wants to have anything to do with Nigeria, it is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who will write to me and state that these people want to see me; it is simple. And when they come, it is in my position to say ‘look, we want to partner with you’. Take for instance, you are going into agriculture and we want to partner, then we tell you where exactly,” he explained.
The Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, had on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, visited the FCT minister days before Hamas militants attacked Israel and the consequent and continued retaliation by the Jewish nation. Freeman had during the visit expressed his country’s willingness to work with Nigeria to generate employment opportunities for the unemployed population, transform Abuja into a technology hub, and engage in agricultural partnerships.
