 My dream to work in Nigeria came 10 yrs after – EU envoy Mignot


The European Union (EU) Head of Delegation to Nigeria, Gautier Mignot, has revealed that it has been his longstanding ambition to work in the country.

Mignot, who submitted his letter of credence to President Bola Tinubu just last week, shared that his desire to serve in Nigeria was sparked during his first visit to the country a decade ago.

The former EU ambassador to Mexico made this known during a media parley with diplomatic correspondents in Abuja, where he expressed enthusiasm about his new role and the opportunities it presents for strengthening EU-Nigeria relations.

The envoy who also doubles as Head of Delegation to ECOWAS said: “I came here to Nigeria 10 years ago on a one-week mission to Abuja and Lagos, and I found it to be a fascinating country. I always thought how great it would be to come and work here in this country one day and this dream finally has come true.

“So I’m very happy with that. I arrived here in Nigeria at the beginning of September, taking over from Ambassador Samuel Aissopi.I know you knew her very well. She was a very active ambassador. And again, I’m extremely happy to be here in Nigeria, the number one nation in Africa and a key player in the world.

“I already had the opportunity to discover some parts of the country, apart from the Federal capital, Lagos of course, but also the city, Calabar, and more recently Borno and the Adamawa states. And also, I discovered a bit of the Nigerian tribal culture, since the Calabar carnival last year.”
