SSA to the President on Foreign affairs and Diaspora Hon Abike Dabiri Erewa was at the UK parliament on the invitation of MP Kate Osamor, Nigerian born British Parliamentarian, representing Edmonton and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary group, shadow minister on Women and Equalities


The highly interactive event was well attended by MPs, policy makers, business leaders and Nigerian professionals from all works of life, during which Hon Dabiri articulated the Buhari administration's plans to tackle security, corruption and the economy, among others







Hon Dabiri appealed to the British parliament to strengthen their anti money laundering and banking laws to prevent Britain from being a safe haven for looters

She urged Britain to adopt the " unexplainable wealth policy" which has been adopted by seven countries including France, Canada, NewZealand Australia, which forfeits assets of foreigners and firms with questionable wealth

" The person who receives stolen goods is just as guilty as the person who steals", she added

Here are some pictures from the event
