The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment to suspend the signing and execution of a trade partnership with the United Kingdom.

This partnership would enable UK lawyers to practice within Nigeria.

The motion, presented by 49 lawmakers on Tuesday, cited recent reports and public concern regarding the alleged economic and trade pact between the UK and Nigeria.

The partnership aims to explore opportunities in vital sectors including energy, legal, and financial services.
