Adeosun calls for economic patriotism from Nigerians in Diaspora
*Describes remittances as key contributor to nation building.
The Federal Government has called on Nigerians in the Diaspora to see the current economic realities in the country as good opportunities for them to participate actively in the ongoing efforts to reposition the nation’s economy.
The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, who spoke at the 2016 Diaspora Conference in Abuja, on Monday, described Diaspora as a key part of the Nigerian Community, which has a key role to play at this critical time.
She stressed the need for a collective action, saying “what Nigeria needs now is Economic Patriotism that will support this administration’s efforts to reposition the economy.”
She stated, “We must never become so comfortable abroad that we forget or worse still despise our roots. Rebuilding Nigeria is an important mission for the next generation, who deserve the chance of a Nigeria that provides opportunities for them.”
According to the Minister, “Other Diaspora communities retain strong links to their motherland and we must do so in order to retain the fabric of our families and our value system.”
She pointed out that the current administration is rebuilding Nigeria based on fundamental values that shaped the childhood of many people but which were sadly abandoned by a few in pursuit of aggrandisement wealth that they can never spend. Those fundamental values, according to her, include hard work, enterprise, honesty, and self-reliance.
Calling for understanding and patience on the part of the citizens, Adeosun explained that fundamental shifts need time to be developed properly with adequate windows for consultation before they can be successfully implemented.
“However, once implemented they will be permanent in ensuring that we maximise all our endowments to compliment oil, rather than relying on oil which has created ‘economic laziness’,” she stated.
The Minister noted that Nigeria has in the past spent like a stereotypical oil economy, which has lots of oil and a low population. She said in reality we have some oil but a very large population. “Our 2.2 M bpd must be shared by 170M of us whereas Kuwait has 2.9M barrels and 4.1 M people. So we simply cannot afford to operate as if oil was unlimited. That adjustment should have happened many decades ago and had it been done we would not be experiencing our current challenges.”
Speaking on measures being put in place to ensure the safety of remittances to beneficiaries in the country, the Minister said improved mechanisms have been put in place to continue to ensure that funds are reaching their intended recipients. These measures, according to her, included a combination of the introduction of a more flexible exchange rate, which closes the gap between official and parallel market rates on one hand, and the improved technology and e-payments systems as are being advocated for use in the Federal Government’s recently introduced Social Welfare Programme.
She stated that the fight against poverty has for the first time ever been embraced formally at Federal Government level with the inclusion of N500 billion in the budget for social intervention programmes, adding that supporting the poor is a responsibility of the entire Nigerian community including the Diaspora.
She stated, “Remittances are a key part of our national income and this points to the strong family ties that form the fabric of Nigeria’s society and this we must not lose sight of. As emigrant remittances are very stable it is important that they are channelled into where they are most needed, we will create investment products and opportunities that will encourage and incentivise you to remit funds.
These include our planned infrastructure bonds and social housing funds. “I urge you to support family with positive investments that will have long term impact as well as day to day income support. Supporting families to become self-sufficient will reduce dependency in the long term. Government is looking at how we can facilitate this structural support with a number of initiatives.
“For example, we are looking at de-risked franchise opportunities in the job creation programme YouWin. This will enable investment of a fixed sum into a “managed” business opportunity with training support as well as monitoring and evaluation.
“Similarly, less money would be remitted to cover medical emergencies if we would simply commit to paying health insurance premiums for our families here in Nigeria.”
The Minister also sought a review of mode of donations from Nigerians in the Diaspora, noting that some of the donations have become avenues for abuse, which has resulted in revenue leakage.
She said, “Donating consumer items under the medical donations has created windows for the importation of expired drugs as well as drugs that are intended for resale. My personal appeal would be that, where the items are available in Nigeria and especially those that are manufactured in Nigeria, please donate in cash rather than in kind. Build the safeguards to ensure that your intended objectives are attained rather than incurring the cost of shipping and clearing goods that are readily available in Nigeria and whose purchase will support Nigerian jobs.”

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
One more thing I would like to express is that as an alternative to trying to suit all your online degree training on days and nights that you finish work (since the majority of people are exhausted when they get back), try to receive most of your instructional classes on the saturdays and sundays and only 1 or 2 courses in weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your saturday and sunday. This is beneficial because on the weekends, you will be a lot more rested plus concentrated in school work. Thanks a bunch for the different points I have realized from your weblog.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Magnificent goods from you, man. I have keep in mind your stuff previous to and you’re simply extremely excellent. I really like what you’ve bought right here, certainly like what you are stating and the way in which during which you say it. You’re making it enjoyable and you continue to take care of to stay it smart. I can not wait to learn much more from you. This is actually a terrific web site.|

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Much thanks! It a astonishing webpage!.
