FCT minister Nyesom Wike says Abuja is safe and accessible for foreigners to conduct their businesses.

Mr Wike stated this when Poland’s ambassador to Nigeria, Joanna Tarnawska, visited him in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said the security in the city had significantly improved and 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 the FCT Administration’s willingness to collaborate with Poland in developing its agriculture sector.

He explained that the partnership would enable the Administration to empower the teeming youths with employment opportunities in the agricultural sector.

He added that job creation and security were among the top priorities of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Mr Wike said that Poland could arrange for some of its investors to set up large farms in Abuja, employ the youths, and eventually own the farms.

Earlier, Ms 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.

She explained that the visit was to assure the minister of the continued bilateral relationship developed many years ago.

Ms Tarnawska said the discussion with Wike would continue to consider new avenues of cooperation for mutual benefits.
