Tinubu woos east caribbean states to invest in Nigeria

President Bola Tinubu has called on the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) to take advantage of ‘Africa’s largest market’ and invest in Nigeria.
‎
‎The President described Nigeria as a gateway to Africa’s booming market and urged the island nations to deepen trade, joint ventures and investment ties.
‎
‎Tinubu made the call on Monday while addressing a special joint session of the Senate and House of Assembly of Saint Lucia.
‎
‎This is contained in a statement issued by Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga.
‎
‎
‎Onanuga said that the President advocated partnerships in agriculture, manufacturing, and services that would position Nigeria as both a supplier and a destination for OECS exports.
‎
‎“When I assumed the Office of the President of Nigeria in May 2023, my Administration embarked on a series of economic, political and social reforms for sustainable growth and development.
‎
‎“It is in line with this orientation and to explore areas of cooperation, that I decided to undertake this state visit to Saint Lucia.
‎
‎“In this spirit, I wish to express Nigeria’s readiness to deepen cooperation with the OECS in mutual interest, including trade, investment, health, culture, education, and climate resilience,” Tinubu said.
‎
‎He emphasised Nigeria’s vast natural resources and large consumer base as assets the OECS can leverage for exports and strategic partnerships.
‎
‎“Together, we can leverage our respective strengths to attract investment, create jobs, and foster joint ventures that benefit both our peoples.”
‎
‎The President used the occasion to formally announced the establishment of diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Saint Lucia, calling it a “symbolic bridge” for deeper engagement.
‎
‎“A symbolic bridge that will provide a gateway in fostering closer ties between both countries,” Tinubu added.
‎
‎He proposed a Joint Commission or Political Consultation Agreement to serve as a structured framework for future cooperation.
‎
‎To strengthen cultural ties, the presidential aide said that President Tinubu offered full scholarships to students from OECS nations to study in Nigeria.
‎
‎“I respectfully urge a reciprocal gesture to enable smoother movement of officials and foster closer institutional cooperation.”
‎
‎He announced Nigeria’s willingness to grant visa waivers for OECS diplomatic and official passport holders.
‎
‎Tinubu also highlighted shared historical and cultural bonds between Nigeria and Caribbean nations rooted in African heritage and Pan-African ideals.
‎
‎“Currents shaped by the transatlantic slave trade and colonial subjugation…out of which emerged a shared cultural identity, resilience, and aspiration.”
‎
‎“This occasion serves as a testament to the enduring ideals of Pan-Africanism…among peoples of African descent.”
‎
‎He reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to expanding ties with the OECS as a “cherished partner” in Africa’s broader global engagement.
‎
‎“We remain committed to strengthening and expanding the enduring bonds of friendship that unite our regions.”
‎
‎The President proposed a maritime university collaboration and the extension of Nigeria’s Technical Aid Corps (TAC) to OECS countries.
‎
‎“I strongly advocate for educational exchange programmes between Nigerian and OECS maritime universities to foster mutual understanding and academic collaboration.”
‎
‎Addressing climate challenges, Tinubu called for joint research on disaster preparedness, sustainable agriculture, and adaptation strategies.
‎
‎Reiterating Nigeria’s Afrocentric foreign policy, Tinubu underlined Nigeria’s legacy in Pan-African advocacy and support for global Black solidarity.
‎
‎“Our foreign policy remains unapologetically Afrocentric.”
‎
‎“Nigeria has long stood at the vanguard of advocacy for the dignity and advancement of Black people worldwide.”
‎
‎“This was evident from its strong opposition to colonialism and racial injustice, to its leadership in the Pan-African movement,” Tinubu said.
‎
‎He highlighted Nigeria’s cultural richness in music, fashion, cuisine, Nollywood, and literature, calling it Africa’s creative heart.
‎
‎According to Onanuga, over 300 attendees, including diplomats, officials, and members of the Nigerian community, were present during Tinubu’s address.

Our ancestors traced to Nigeria – Saint Lucian Senate President

President of the Saint Lucian Senate, Alvina Reynolds, has highlighted the strong ancestral connections between Nigeria and Saint Lucia.

‎Reynolds cited data from a British census conducted on the island in 1815, revealing that many Saint Lucians trace their origins to Nigeria.

‎She made this known while welcoming President Bola Tinubu to a joint session of Saint Lucia’s bicameral parliament on Monday.

A statement on the joint session issued by the Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga was made available to newsmen on Monday in Abuja.

‎“Of the 16,282 enslaved people in Saint Lucia that year, 3,488 were born in Africa.”

‎”Of these, 34 per cent were from Nigeria, 11 per cent from Nigeria-Cameroon, and 22 per cent from the Congo.”

‎”The remaining 12,794 were born in Saint Lucia, with most of their forefathers coming from Sene-Gambia and Nigeria,” she said.

‎She described President Tinubu’s visit as historic for both the Parliament and the people of Saint Lucia.

‎According to Reynolds, the transatlantic slave trade, spanning over 350 years, forged enduring cultural ties between Africa and the Caribbean.

Reynolds called the visit, “a mission to reunite us with our homeland and for our people to work together.”

‎The Senate President also paid tribute to Sir Darnley Alexander, a Saint Lucian who served as Nigeria’s Chief Justice from 1975 to 1979.

‎“This mission, Your Excellency, continues with Catholic priests from Nigeria who have answered the call and come to Saint Lucia to serve, one of whom is our special guest this morning—Father Festus.”

‎“Your address to this Parliament today could not have occurred at a more auspicious time, for today is World Parliament Day—an occasion to reflect on the essential role of Parliament and the service we provide as representatives to our people.”

‎In response to Tinubu’s speech, Prime Minister Philip Pierre described the State Visit as a moment of “freedom and celebration.”

‎Pierre acknowledged deep ancestral and emotional ties with West Africa, calling Saint Lucia “a small fragment of Africa.”

‎“Our people have been separated, but nothing has ever been able to separate us spiritually and culturally from West Africa, where some of our ancestors came from and for whom our hearts continually yearn.”

‎“We are African people who have made permanent homes for ourselves on this side of the Atlantic, on the hills and valleys of the plantations on which we were enslaved.

‎”But, we have built these homes, Mr. President, not for ourselves, but in the service of all humanity, especially Africa, in whose direction we continually watch, wait, hope and pray for our future redemption,” he said.

‎Pierre humorously noted that, Saint Lucia’s population is smaller than Eti-Osa Local Government in Lagos.‎

‎Nonetheless, the Prime Minister affirmed the island’s pride as a sovereign nation “deeply connected to the world, Nigeria, and West Africa.”

‎He also acknowledged the Nigerian community’s contributions in healthcare, religion, cuisine, tourism, and social development.

‎“We warmly welcome every Nigerian hand of support and embrace with gratitude their contributions to Saint Lucia’s cultural, social, and economic development.”

‎”We are the richer for it,” he said.

‎Reflecting on Africa-Caribbean relations, Pierre welcomed progress since the first Africa-CARICOM Summit in 2021 and anticipated the next summit in Addis Ababa.

‎He listed potential cooperation areas, including tourism, air travel, creative industries, fintech, sports, renewable energy, and medical services.

‎Pierre noted that while Saint Lucia receives over one million tourists annually, few come from Nigeria due to limited air connectivity.‎

‎He proposed partnerships in sports, especially football and cricket, and urged Nigerian fintech and healthcare professionals to explore Saint Lucia’s expanding sectors.

‎The joint session was attended by diplomats, dignitaries, and top leaders from across the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

NBC moves to build border community resilience for economic devt.

The National Boundary Commission (NBC) says it is building border community resilience for economic development through cross border cooperation.

The Director-General of the commission, Mr Adamu Adaji, stated this at the commemoration of the 2025 African Border Day, in Abuja on Monday.

The theme of the event was “Building Border Community Resilience and Economic Development through Cross Border Cooperation”.

Adaji said that Nigeria’s security and economic prosperity were directly interconnected with close neighbours.

He added that over the years, the country had systematically cultivated good relationships with its neighbours as strategies for national security and economic prosperity.

He said that the NBC has championed the engagements in a series of trans-border cooperation workshops to build confidence and downplay the weight of borders.

“The NBC is committed to a transformation process and effective border governance through the definition and determination of Nigeria’s territorial borders.

“This is because good fences make good neighbours.

“In addition to the effective efforts to demarcate and delimit all our boundaries with our neighbours to prevent conflict and disputes, the Commission champions the facilitation of equitable utilisation of transboundary resources.

“Our activities of cross border cooperation with our close neighbours are always inclusive of our border communities,” he said.

Adaji said that the NBC engages and works in close collaboration with the border communities, the local border authorities and traditional institutions.

According to him, the stakeholders are key in building community resilience, social cohesion, and in helping to secure territorial borders as well as enhancing the prospects for economic development of the country.

The NBC boss explained that the African border day was being celebrated by member states to raise awareness on the critical role international borders play in promoting peace and security.

He added that the day was also used to promote regional integration and inclusive socio-economic development across the continent.

“The day is also used to highlight the significant role of the African Union Convention on Cross-Border Cooperation in the integration of countries across the continent.

“The essence of today’s celebration is to bring together all relevant stakeholders to reflect on the day and to celebrate African Border Day.

“The theme is in line with the African Union’s all-embracing theme of the year:

“Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations”, he said.

In his remarks, the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa, Sen. Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, Chairman, Nigeria’s Coastal Border Platform, called for the creation of special funds for the boundary platforms to function.

Ewhrudjakpo also advocated the establishment of marine corps for intelligence gathering and ensuring safety along Nigeria’s coastal borders.

Also, the Deputy Governor of Sokoto, Mr Idris Gobir, Chairman, Nigeria -Niger International Border Platform, stressed the need for construction of border fences to ensure the safety of citizens.

According to him, strengthening cross border cooperation will not yield the desired results if Nigeria’s borders remain porous and accessible to all kinds of criminal elements.

The event was attended by stakeholders from across the country, including representative of security agencies.

I’ll contest 2027 presidential election – Peter Obi

The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has assured his supporters that he will contest the 2027 presidential election and that he will not do more than one term in office.

Obi gave the assurance in a statement issued by Peter Obi Media Reports Spokesperson, Ibrahim Umar, on Monday in Abuja.

The former presidential candidate acknowledged his involvement in coalition talks, attributing it to his desire to rescue Nigeria from the drift.

“I have not joined in any form of discussion on joint tickets, including with Atiku.

“If there is any form of agreement that will restrict me to four years in office, I will comply with the agreement and be ready to leave the office by 28th May, 2031.

“If the coalition is not about stopping the killings in Benue, Zamfara, how to revive our economy, how to make our industries productive, how to put food on the tables of Nigerians, count me out,” he said.

Obi pledged to bring stability to the country within two years in office.

On the situation within the Labour Party, Obi said they were re working round the clock to get INEC to endorse the Nenadi Usman-led leadership based on the Supreme Court judgment.

Obi also expressed his belief in rotation of power between the North and the South, saying that he implemented a similar arrangement in Anambra while he was governor.

On his preparation for the 2027 election, the former presidential candidate said that he would do things differently.

“We will follow a non-violent approach and insist that the right thing be done. Our votes in 2027 will count, and we will ensure they count,” he said.

He also said that he would prioritise security, education and poverty eradication as well as cutting costs, shunning corruption and channelling funds into critical sectors.

“My presidency will ensure there is a strong opposition in party politics. There will be no defection of elected officials to other parties when I am in charge

“I will bring order to governance and pull people out of poverty,” he said.

Akpoti-Uduaghan docked over alleged cybercrime, defamation

The Federal Government on Monday, arraigned Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan at the Federal High Court, Abuja over alleged cyber bullying and defamation of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and former Governor of Kogi, Yahaya Bello.

The suspended senator was docked on a six-count charge bordering on making inciting statements in public and on television amounting to cyber bullying and defamation.

The lawmaker who was accompanied by her husband into the court room to answer the charge against her, however, pleaded not guilty to all the six count.

The federal government through the Attorney-General of the Federation preferred the six-count criminal charge against her.

Akpabio, had in a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, complained about damages done to his reputation by Akpoti-Uduaghan on the accusation that he planned to eliminate her in Kogi.

The allegations in the charge, marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/195/2025 are said to contravene Section 24 of the Cybercrimes Act and punishable under the same act.

She was alleged to have transmitted false and injurious information via electronic means calculated to malign, incite, and endanger lives and breach public order.

In the charge, Akpoti-Uduaghan, while addressing a gathering on April 4 in Ihima, in Kogi, was said to have alleged that Akpabio instructed Bello to have her eliminated in Kogi.

Similarly, in a television interview, she allegedly repeated the narrative, suggesting a murderous conspiracy against her life by Akpabio and Bello to take place in Kogi to make it appeared as if her people were responsible.

Following her plea of not guilty, the prosecuting counsel, Mr Mohammed Abubakar prayed the court for a date to start trial and call witnesses.

Akpoti-Uduaghan’s lawyer, Prof. Roland Otaru, SAN moved a bail application for the defendant.

Otaru, in the application, prayed the court to admit the defendant to bail on self-recognition.

He submitted that the suspended senator was not a flight risk and would not interfere with police investigation and witnesses.

Moreover, he said that the offences his client was standing trial for were bailable, adding that the prosecution did not oppose the application.

The trial judge, Justice Mohammed Umar subsequently admitted the defendant to bail on self-recognition.

He adjourned the matter until Sept. 22 for the trial to begin.

On the last adjourned date, the court had rejected an application by the government to issue a bench warrant against Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The prosecuting counsel, Mr David Kasue had asked the court to issue a bench warrant for her arrest following her absence in court.

Her lawyer, however, opposed the application for a bench warrant saying the application was strange and not courteous, since he had only been served with the charge on behalf of his client in court that morning.

Man, 49, bags one year jail term for trading in Cannabis

A Federal High Court in Ibadan, on Monday, sentenced one Emmanuel Falaye, 49, to one year in Agodi Correctional Centre for trading in 160 grammes of Cannabis Sativa.

Delivering judgment, Justice Nkeonye Maha convicted and sentenced Falaye after he had pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful dealing in narcotics preferred against him by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Maha said that the court took cognisance of the fact that the convict was a first time offender and had not wasted the time and resources of the court in arriving at its verdict.

She, however, warned that stiffer punishment would be applied against him if caught again after completing his jail term.

“To serve as deterrent to others, Falaye is sentenced to one year imprisonment and the sentence starts from the date he was arrested.

“The w**d substance found in his possession shall be destroyed by the NDLEA,” the judge ordered.

The NDLEA Counsel, Mr Daniel Otunla, had earlier told the court that the convict committed the offence on April 6, at Apata area of Ibadan, Oyo State.

According to Otunla, NDLEA operatives acted on a tip-off from informants that Falaye was into the business of illicit drug trading.

He added that the operatives subsequently apprehended the convict in possession of a bag containing 160 grammes of Cannabis Sativa.

The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provision of Section 11 (C ) of the NDLEA Act Cap N30, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.

APC fixes July 24 for its NEC meeting

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has fixed July 24, for its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, to be held at its Abuja national secretariat.

Mr Festus Faunter, the party’s Deputy National Secretary, disclosed this to newsmen on Monday in Abuja after a closed-door meeting of its National Working Committee (NWC).

The meeting, he said, followed the resignation of Dr Abdullahi Ganduje as APC’s National Chairman on health grounds on Friday, a decision the NWC accepted with gratitude and wished him well.

“Whatever we do now, including the endorsement of the Acting National Chairman must receive the blessing of the NEC.

“If during the NEC meeting, a new chairman is nominated, we will also accept that and wait for the convention to take a final position,” Faunter said.

He added that a notice for the NEC meeting had been forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He said the NWC discussed preparations for upcoming bye-elections in states where there were legislative vacancies due to death or resignation and mapped out early plans for Ward, Local Government, and state congresses.

“Dates for these exercises will be made public in due course, Faunter added.

He also said that the party’s NEC, as its highest decision making organ, was expected to deliberate on its next steps, including leadership succession, internal restructuring, and preparations for 2027 general elections.

Alhaji Ali Dalori, has since assumed office as APC’S Acting National Chairman, promising to be transparent, inclusive and to steer the party’s activities with unity of purpose.

Dalori, who was the APC Deputy National Chairman (North-East), before his appointment made the promise at a meeting with the party’s NWC.

President Bola Tinubu had directed Dalori to oversee the affairs of APC following last Friday’s resignation of Ganduje.

“In accordance with the Constitution of our party and the directive of President Tinubu, I have assumed the position of acting national chairman following the resignation of Ganduje,” Dalori said.

Ganduje in his resignation letter submitted to the party’s NWC through its National Secretary, Sen. Ajibola Basiru, said he needed time out to attend to his health and other personal issues.

The former two term Kano State governor assumed leadership of the APC in August 2023.
