Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has begun the marketing of the federal capital, Abuja to the whole world saying that it is safe and free for foreigners to carry out their day-to-day businesses.
Wike stated this when the Ambassador of Poland to Nigeria, Joanna Tarnawska, visited him in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said the security in the city had significantly improved and it was safe for everybody, including foreigners, to carry out their businesses without fear.
“We are happy to make sure all the foreigners are free to carry out their businesses.
“Abuja is the capital, and you can see how safe it is. It is one of the lovely cities that everybody will want to visit,” he said.
The minister, who described the relationship between Nigeria and Poland as cordial, expressed FCT administration’s willingness to collaborate with Poland in developing its agriculture sector.
The minister added that Poland could arrange for some of its investors to set up large farms in Abuja that would employ the youths, and eventually owned the farms in due course.
Earlier, Tarnawska said she had been in Nigeria for over five years as ambassador of Poland, and described the country as a very interesting place to live in.
She said the visit was to assure the minister of the continued bilateral relationship developed many years ago.
