North Gets 60% Of British Support To Nigeria —UK Envoy by Omooba77: 8:55am On Jul 23, 2014
BRITISH High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Andrew Pocock, has said 60 per cent of British government’s donation to Nigeria goes to the northern part of the country.

“Indeed, 60 per cent of the British development assistance that we put into this country comes into the Northern Nigeria,” Pocock said, adding that this was because the United Kingdom (UK) was deeply concerned about development of the region.

He disclosed this on Tuesday, during the graduation and presentation of empowerment grants/facilities to 1,907 youths and women trained on horticultural skills and home-based trades by Kano State government, held at the Government House, Kano.
