The Outgoing
High Commissioner of Kenya to Nigeria, Ambassador Tom Amolo, has said
that the several agreements concluded with the Chinese government during
the President Muhammadu Buhari visit to China, would have a huge and
positive impact on the economic relations between Kenya and Nigeria.
Speaking in an interview with The Guardian he said: “It will open a
new vista in Kenya economic relations with Nigeria. We are looking at it
very closely to see what impact it will have in our economic
relations.”
He said that during his three-year tenure in Nigeria he has been able to improve the bilateral ties between Kenya and Nigeria.
“We have now created a Kenya- Nigeria Agro Business Forum and a
Kenya- Nigeria Business Council. These institutions are very important
now because of the security challenges posed by Boko Haram.”
He recalled that in January, President Buhari paid a visit to Kenya
and he assured the Kenyan people that in their struggle against
terrorism, they were not alone.
Amolo said that Nigerians could now receive visas upon arrivals in
Kenya. He further added that direct flights from Nairobi to Abuja with
Kenya Airways were now possible. Lagos to Nairobi already has two
flights daily and fourteen flights weekly.
