African leaders have been urged by President Bola Tinubu to take more calculated and purposeful steps to stop the talent and skill migration from their continent.

These efforts, he said, include stemming tribalism, rewarding performance and reforming archaic judicial systems.

Speaking on Wednesday evening at a luncheon hosted in his honor at the People’s Palace in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, President Tinubu stated that leaders need to support research and development by offering suitable incentives.

Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed this in a statement he signed on Thursday titled ‘President Tinubu: We can stop skill exodus by enhancing performance incentivisation in Africa.’

The President said: “Why are we complaining about healthcare problems if our doctors cannot have a home in our continent? If our nurses are faced with destitution, and if our judicial system is archaic?”

Tinubu, who is on a three-day official visit, said development in Africa will begin when the continent starts to look inward for solutions.

He argued, “Tribalism has no place in our nation or region. We have to strengthen the continent. Cultivate and maintain peace together and help one another.

“We have to develop our resources for our progress. Find solutions among ourselves and focus incisively on research and development, and reward those research and development programmes. We must bring out the results ourselves. We must not outsource them or sell them out.

“To the international organisations, we are partners. We will continue to be partners, but we must implement more than half of the results of the research established here. We have many youths to take care of. Millions yearning for progress.”

The Nigerian leader thanked his host, President Teodoro Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea for the invitation to visit Malabo.

He stated, “It is a joy coming down here from Abuja, and for me, it is a homecoming. We are one single family on the continent. We are like twins held together at the hips. We have nowhere to go, but to cling to each other.

With your catastrophic mismanagement of the economy that has already sent untold number of people to early grave in less than a year?

Of course he can curb japa, by making sure more people remain in abject poverty. Even agbado won’t be affordable.

Look, half of ₦50 ogi last year is now being sold for ₦100; not same weight, but half weight.

Even , akara small piece is now ₦100.
The àgbàdo is now very expensive, including the corn...so wetin we dey talk sef?

[b]Honestly this man is far, very far from reality

One of the few comparative advantage we have is global supply of human resources

Nigeria is one of the few places on earth were you can become a fully trained medical doctor with 2000 dollars to 5000 thousands dollars

Even the private schools most are below 20,000 dollars to train a full medical doctor

This is an edge we support take advantage of

Sign agreement with EU, Australia, Canada, UK and USA even our Arab brothers uae, Saudi, Kuwait and the rest to supply them doctors on an agreement that works for us

An agreement that States that doctors supplied Nigeria gets 5% of their salary, employers deducte them and send to nigeria ( that's If they attended federal or state schools)

Imagine exporting 15,000 medical professionals yearly... In 20 years we have 300,000 people abroad... Even if they earn 80,000 dollars average

That's 1.2 billion dollars.. This is more than enough to run the nigerian universities and make them world class

Think APC Think[/b]

But you have investments there with our stolen money. You are a disgrace and disaster to humanity.
