The British High Commission to Nigeria has announced a temporary suspension of business operations during the England and Nigeria football match at the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Monday.

All the staff members of the Commission will, in addition, gather for an important meeting at half-time, aimed at promoting peace and harmony among colleagues.

The High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, tweeted that would be regardless of the match's outcome.

This gesture highlights the High Commission's commitment to fostering strong relationships among its team members.
