HC Deb 07 July 1982 vol 27 cc130-1W
44. Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on British relations with Nigeria.

Mr. Onslow

We enjoy very good relations with Nigeria in political, commercial, cultural and other fields. Nigeria is our largest export market outside Western Europe and the United States. President Shagari paid a State visit to this country last year, and we have frequent ministerial and official contacts at all levels, both bilaterally and in international fora such as the Commonwealth and the United Nations.
