The government of Canada is willing to support Nigeria with $10 million in its battle against insecurity.
This was made known by acting Canadian High commissioner Nicholas Simard when he visited the Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, in Abuja.
A statement issued by Head, Press and Public Relations Unit of the Ministry of Police Affairs, Odutayo Oluseyi quoted Simard as saying that Nigeria is a multi-faceted developing country, with insecurity posing a great challenge to its growth.
Mr Simard who stressed the need to build the capacity of personnel of the Police Force, among other things to diminish violence, applauded the Police for the overwhelming services rendered to him since he came into the country.
Responding, Dingyadi said the cordial relationship between Nigeria and Canada has grown stronger over the years.
He went on to note that Canada’s quest and support in promoting human rights, peace and unity, not only in Nigeria but in Africa at large, cannot be over-emphasised.
