Outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Wendy Laing, has bid farewell to Nigeria, saying she was sad to leave the country.
Laing spoke yesterday, April 5, during a farewell visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House, Abuja, after a four-and-a half years tour of duty.
Laing said, “I’m sad to be leaving. Nigeria is so much fun, I had a fabulous time here, and I will be back. I love the dance, music and culture.
“It has been good to experience Nigeria. I have been to over 20 States, and I have told my successor to also do the same. I will be back and still travel wider.”
She also congratulated President Buhari for a very successful eight years in office, adding that he had done very well to hold the country together.
On his part, Buhari said the United Kingdom was a second home for many Nigerians, and relations between both nations will continue to wax strong.
“In fact, some wealthy Nigerians don’t feel complete till they have had a home in the UK,” the president said.
