Tinubu gets Diaspora Nigeria’s support on foreign investment
Many Nigerians in the Diaspora say they have perfected the strategies aimed at wooing investors to support the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s developmental agenda for the country.
This is coming ahead of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, USA,
The concerned Nigerians led by Prof. Tai Balofin- President of Nigerian Progressive Professionals in the Diaspora and Amb. Franklin Abiola Ogunyemi- Trade and Investment representative of the Nigerian Consulate in New York, have set a committee which is working to attract investors.
To that effect, five leading investment summit organizers have joined forces to orchestrate a groundbreaking Economic, Trade, and Investment Summit scheduled to take place in September 2023, concurrent with the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York USA.
The event aims to rally global investments in support of the ambitious agenda set forth by President Tinubu’s administration.
The committee, comprising distinguished members such as Barrister Dotun Israel of Diplomatic Vista, Mr. Babatunde MacAlabi of BYK Ventures Limited, and Prof. Lilian Ore -Ajayi of Silicon Valley Investment Nigeria, shares a unified goal: to harness their collective expertise and resources to create a singular, impactful event that transcends boundaries.
Addressing the collaborative initiative Amb. Lot Egopija, Nigerian Consul General, emphasized the significance of this united endeavour, stating, “It has been determined that we can’t have different summits at different times for the same purpose. The President can’t be everywhere due to protocol and logistics. We need a formidable, united team to organize one extraordinary event.”
As discussions focus on shaping the most effective collaboration proposal and agreement, the organizing committee is actively defining each organizer’s expected contribution to this monumental endeavour. While specifics are currently being refined, the guiding principle is a shared commitment to the summit’s overarching objectives.
The anticipated outcome of this historic collaboration is nothing short of transformative. By consolidating efforts, the organizers seek to pool diverse resources, expertise, and global networks to attract a wider spectrum of investors, drive economic growth, and stimulate sustainable development aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision.
The committee envisions a strategic roadmap to success, centering on a holistic approach to the event’s organization. By integrating the strengths of each organizer and leveraging their respective networks, the summit aims to showcase the potential of Nigeria’s economic landscape and foster partnerships that pave the way for impactful investment initiatives.

Breaking: Court of Appeal rules in favour of Turaki -led PDP candidate for Osun governorship election
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on Thursday, ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in Osun State was validly nominated by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee.
The court also ordered INEC to list the PDP logo on the ballot ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The Court held that access code is neither a creation of the Constitution nor the Electoral Act; rather, a creation of INEC’s guidelines and cannot, in any way, override the provisions of the Constitution.
Section 288 of the Constitution does not specify the method for nominating candidates; it only states that the names of candidates should be forwarded to the Commission.
The court further held that the defendant (INEC) should take steps to include the name of the appellant on the ballot paper.
Additionally, the court ruled that the primary election conducted by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP was a valid primary election in law.
The three-man panel of justices—Justice Mahmud, Justice Jaro, and Justice Ankawere, was unanimous in its judgment.
