ABUJA- THE Senate has called on the international
community to support Nigeria in her efforts to reposition
and grow the economy.

According to the Senate, the call has become imperative
because the present administration in Nigeria concerned
about shrinking revenue from oil and hence the need to
diversify the economy through through creation of
global partnerships and attraction of direct foreign
investments.

This was made by a Senate delegation at separate
bilateral meetings with German and French delegates
during the just concluded 4th UN International
Conference for Heads of Parliaments in New York.

Members of the delegation led by the Senate President,
Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, included the Chairman of
the Senate Adhoc Committee on Media and Publicity,
Senator Dino Melaye and Senator Andy Uba (Anambra
South).

Saraki in the first bilateral meeting with his German
counterpart, Volker Bouffier, the Minister-President of
Hesse, stressed the need for Nigeria and Germany to
work together in increasing the trade volume between
both countries.

A statement for Saraki’s office read: “Nigeria needs the
support of the International Community to grow and
reposition the economy made worse by the dwindling
price of oil at the international market.

“In his second meeting with Laurence Dumont, the
Socialist Deputy of Calvados, and the Vice-President of
the National Assembly of France, Saraki reiterated the
need for international support and enabling laws to help
Nigeria repatriate illicit funds that were moved out of
Nigeria through corrupt practices.”

According to the statement, the Senate President told
the French parliamentary delegation that the move
would support the efforts of the present administration
aimed at boosting the economy of the country.

Saraki also stated that another area where Nigeria and
France can partner on, is in the generation and
transmission of power, which will help boost
employment of youths in Nigeria.

The Senate President noted that over the years, Nigeria
and France have enjoyed strong relationship at various
levels and that it was time for the parliaments of both
countries to collaborate in more socio-economic areas

.
He also commended the French government for planning
regional approaches to combat terrorism, while saying
that the meeting of parliamentary heads came at the
right time, as such meetings provide Nigeria with new
opportunities to press the reset button with many
countries in the international community.

Ignorant people. what has the government put in place to ensure smooth economic growth for businesses in Nigeria? No proper infrastrructure , no security. Only arms dealers will be interested in doing buiness in Nigeria at the rate we are going anyway.

Waiting for france to give Nigerians light, security and maybe help impregnante and ensure safe delivery to our wives.
They should just sell Naija to france no long thing.
