Outgoing British High Commissioner in Nigeria, Catriona Laing, says though there were set backs in the presidential and National Assembly elections, there were positive developments to take out of the polls.
Speaking with journalists at the Senate wing of the National Assembly, after a courtesy visit on the President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, in Abuja yesterday, the British envoy said despite contestations of the process of the election by some political actors, the election portended bright future for the country.
Laing noted that despite litigations trailing the election, it was fascinating as it offered future assurances for democratic governance in the country.
Earlier in his remarks, President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, who commended the British envoy on her positive disposition to the country, however, tasked her to help in strengthening bilateral relations between Nigeria and Britain.
