Nigeria’ll be a fast-growing economy with Tinubu – Amb Ajayi

As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has emerged victorious at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, (PEPT), Nigeria will resemble some of the fastest growing economies in the world in a couple of years, a US-based Nigerian entrepreneur, Amina Temitope Ajayi, has said.

Amina also known as Mama Diaspora in a statement, congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the verdict at the PEPT, saying the President would now be focused and concentrate on reviving Nigeria’s economy.

She revealed that Africa was the focus of the world and industrialized nations because of Africa’s arable land, intellectual property, and human capital.

She urged Nigerians to come together as one people with a “renewed hope” to support the present administration “so much so that the stability of our unity and support will also be an attraction point for foreign investors from America and other countries .”

“We need to stay focused and concentrate on reviving Nigeria’s economy. We are so blessed to have an American- trained graduate and intellectual as the President of our great country, Nigeria. In the next couple of years, Nigeria will resemble some of the fastest-growing economies in the world. With more focus on agriculture and the workforce, we will continue to build economies of scale,” she said.

According to her, during the Industrial Revolution in the United States of America, there was a robust concentration on empowering the labor force and farm labor, and with the influence of technology and manufacturing, the US increased production and richly developed its economy to record levels.

“What also made America successful were its overall investments in agriculture, transportation, housing, and mineral resources, including oil and gas and other mineral resources. We are going to work hard as a nation to attract foreign investors. I want to thank everybody who has been praying. They said the prayers of the faithful availeth much. As a success of this political party, those who have worked so hard in the campaign for this present administration, as a mother, and as Mama Diaspora Fully Beatified 100% shall be well with us.”

Democracy is alive, the government of the people for the people and by the people.We have these young adults, which represent 65% of Nigerian young adults. That is an asset of this country. For the first time, we are coming together to utilize our assets because our primary goal is for us to be back to our glory, the Giant of Africa.”

“Though tribe and tongue may differ, including political parties, in brotherhood and sisterhood, we stand .Nigeria we hail thee. We all need to unite now, suck it up, embrace each other, and take Nigeria to the next level.Let us assume we will be watching a football match. There must be a winner. Now we won. Nigeria won as a nation. Let us take that and be the giant of Africa”, she said.

“I am very blessed to know the potential of our Asiwaju. I have been telling Nigerians that we have a great leader who will turn this country around for the better. First, he is an Accountant and an excellent financial manager and knows the language of success.The language of success for a country includes foreign investments. It shows he is a leader. He is going out to seek help for his children to eat. He did not sit down and listen to unnecessary talks.”

FG set to repatriate 20,000 Nigerians from Chad, Cameroon

The federal government has announced plans to repatriate 20,000 Nigerians from Chad and Cameroon over the next two months. The plan involves bringing back 6,000 individuals from Chad and 14,000 from Cameroon.

As of December 31, 2023, there were 21,338 Nigerian refugees in Chad and 120,677 in Cameroon. In the previous year, the federal government successfully repatriated 5,000 Nigerian refugees from Cameroon to Banki in Borno State. In preparation for the return of the refugees, the federal government procured food and non-food items worth N2 billion in 2023.

The Federal Commissioner of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), Tijani Ahmed, disclosed this information at a Technical Working Group meeting in Abuja. The refugees were displaced due to various factors, including the 2022 flood, the Boko Haram crisis, clashes between farmers and herders, and the ongoing challenges posed by climate change.

Ahmed said: “In the year 2023, the commission spearheaded the repatriation of 5,000 people living in Cameroon to the country.

“We are also arranging to bring back those who are interested in returning because repatriation is voluntary and an agreement has been signed between UNHCR, the government of Cameroon and the federal government of Nigeria in the area of repatriation of our people from Cameroon.

“We are going to work towards the repatriation of 6,000 Nigerians out of about 21,000 of them in Chad.

“We are looking at returning 3000 households from Chad, which is about 6,000 people would be repatriated from Chad to Nigeria. For Cameroon, we have about 14,000 people but we will profile them because we don’t have to force anybody to return. Arrangements are underway to get them back. Within the next two months, we should have concluded the arrangement on repatriation.”

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Deputy Representative (Protection), Bernadette Muteshi commended the federal government for taking the lead in the repatriation exercise.
