Britain has predicted that Nigeria may turn out to be one of the three
biggest economies of the world by 2050.

The British High Commissioner in Nigeria, Mr. Paul Arkwright,
made this disclosure on Monday in Lagos as part of activities to
commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Nigerian British Chamber of
Commerce, NBCC.



Speaking on the topic, “Nigeria-British Relations: The Next 100
Years”, Arkwright said the UK government was happy with the
economic outlook of Nigeria.

He added that by virtue of the policies and investment habits of the
current government of Nigeria, it was glaring that the country would no
longer be dependent on aid to develop.

Arkwright said, “By 2050, Nigeria will be the third biggest country in
the world as it will overtake the USA to join China and India as the
three biggest countries.

“Second, Lagos, Africa’s fifth largest economy in 2016, will become
more important in the coming years as African example of how to break
down barriers to doing business and bring in foreign investment.”

Speaking further, Arkwright also predicted that in a few years, Lagos
would become a major global economic centre, while Nigeria would emerge
one of the three biggest countries in the world.

He also disclosed that the British Embassy had started special services. According to him, visa applicants could get their visa on the same day or
within five days of application.

The embassy also reduced the maximum turnaround time for all classes
of visa application to 15 days.

“We have introduced a same day visa service – at a cost – for visas in
Nigeria. We have also introduced a service that means you get a visa
within five days, at a lower cost than the same day process.

‘’Our turnaround time for all other visas is 15 days. The key thing,
however, is that all visitors to the UK, whether they are from Nigeria or
anywhere else, must respect the law and the length of time their visa says
they can stay in the UK,” the High Commissioner said.

“In 2016, around 140,000 Nigerians applied for visas to the UK.
Of those that applied for student visas, 90 percent were successful.

"For those that applied for other visas, around 70 percent were
successful. There are as many as 250,000 Nigerian nationals or dual
Nigerian-British nationals living in the UK at the moment

"Some claim the total Nigerian diaspora in the UK is well over a million.
We want Nigerians to come to the UK. They come to do business, to
study, to see family and to invest in our economy,’’ he added.

Na all dat one dem take dey give us hope while continually undermining our progress on code.. Dat was how we were we told we are d leaders of tomorrow...

It is a no brainer. But not when malu headers that doesn't have the cognitive ability of early men are in charge

But the comments up there sha. You guys don't even have a single hope for Nigeria or what?

Thats the only responsibility the hausa/fulani‘s have in nigeria. They use money of the southerners to develop their families to the 5th generation and hope that someday the population of their region will be large enough to claim the majority in nigeria. I advice that we youths should open our eyes and act today. Any opportunity of leadership you have please grab it and do your all keeping in mind the better future for all and not our today or our stomachs.

[/b]Nonsense, that is what they will say to keep on stealing Nigerian resources[b].
Why did they break away from EU and Scotland is breaking away from them.
yeye.

USA & BRITAIN ARE LIKE GIRLS TO NIGERIA.

HOPE IS FOR FREE, LET'S KEEP HOPING.

And to the mod that banned me, this is for you

Evil Britain trying to deceive the one nigerianist

This ambassador should go and secure appointment with guiness or any other brewing company and stop disgracing UK.

Them just they give us false hope in order to remain united in this fraud they created.
How can Nigeria be among the biggest 3 economy when Bubu and crew are still looting in 2020?

They don shift am to 2050 now? By 2050 they will say 2100

Lol all these state there is absolutely no way Nigeria can be 100 million even

Just take a look at Lagos State ...only about 50%is developed ...the rest is bush .....it's smaller than London ...with far more high-rise building and almost same size as new York ...with far more high rise building and space management ...

Yet they want me to believe Lagos is bigger than london and new York combined

Big for nothing...

All good for them

Yeye people who is deceiving who.

Lol, by then it will contain 80% of the world's poor. They should continue having births like rabbits.

joke taken too far

This is a fact
