Binani expressed her appreciation for the visit, describing it as an honour to welcome the British envoy. “It was my pleasure to receive Gill Lever, OBE (Mrs), the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, at my residence this afternoon,” she said.

The meeting centred on shared concerns and progressive strategies to enhance gender representation in Nigerian national politics. According to Binani, the dialogue was „very fruitful,“ addressing key issues of mutual interest between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
