NOT AN EMBASSY?


You might not find it very exciting, but have you ever wondered why it is referred to as a high commission rather than an embassy?


The term "high commission" is used for diplomatic missions between Commonwealth countries like Nigeria and the United Kingdom. This reflects the unique diplomatic relationship within the Commonwealth.
