Nigeria is set to overhaul its foreign policy framework to align more closely with global best practices, the National Assembly has revealed.
Speaking after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja yesterday, Senate Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, Senator Abubakar Bello, stated that Nigeria would soon witness major changes in its foreign policy as efforts are made to improve and modernise it.
He said the president had already taken steps to ensure that.
Bello, a former governor of Niger State, stated; “Essentially, we discussed our foreign policy and how to improve and have a robust clear foreign policy for the understanding of everyone and the benefit of Nigerians and Nigeria as a country.
“We strongly believe that necessary steps must be taken to improve the image of Nigeria and Nigerians on the international scene, and I am glad Mr. President has taken bold steps towards ensuring that.
“So, going forward in the coming months, hopefully, we’ll start seeing some changes with regard to our foreign policy that will be clear and well understood by all concerned to ensure that Nigeria and Nigerians are given the right place on the international scene.
