He however encouraged them to be resolute in the discharge of their new tasks and responsibilities for the peace, stability and prosperity of the United Kingdom.
The legislator-elect said, “I firmly believe that during your term in office, you will use your responsible positions to open many more opportunities for cooperation between Britain and Nigeria in the areas of economy, security, science, innovation, culture, education, environment and many other core areas of need.
“I make bold to say that Ndi-Orumba-North, Anambra state and indeed Ndigbo are proud of your uncommon accomplishments. I therefore appeal to you to be good and worthy ambassadors who would stand firm in the course of discharging your duties and responsibilities to the benefit of all.”
