  • Vice-president Kashim Shettima hits out at the new Tory leader accusing her of "denigrating her country of origin" - while praising Rishi Sunak

The article from The Independent discusses a diplomatic row between the UK and Nigeria following comments made by UK Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch. During a session with the House of Commons Business and Trade Committee, Badenoch described Nigeria as one of the "most challenging" countries for UK businesses to operate in, citing issues like corruption and bureaucracy. Her remarks have led to a backlash from Nigerian officials, with the Nigerian High Commission in London expressing disappointment and calling for a more constructive dialogue. The Nigerian government has also responded, with the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, defending Nigeria's business environment and urging for a more balanced view of the country's efforts to improve its investment climate. This incident has sparked discussions on the sensitivity of diplomatic language and the impact of such statements on international relations and trade.
