U.S. President-elect Donald Trump yesterday formally unveiled Nigerian-born, U.S.-based Bayo Ogunlesi as a member of his Strategic and Policy Forum charged with advising the president on economic matters.

According to AFP, Trump’s Transition Team, in a statement yesterday, said the president-elect also announced three additional members to join the forum.

“Earlier this month, President-elect Trump established the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum and announced an initial round of 16 members.

“The Forum is composed of some of America’s most highly respected and successful business leaders.

“They will be called upon to meet with the president frequently to share their specific experience and knowledge as the president implements his economic agenda.

“The Forum will be chaired by Stephen A. Schwarzman, the Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder of Blackstone.

“America has the most innovative and vibrant companies in the world, and the pioneering CEOs joining this Forum today are at the top of their fields,” the Trump team said.

According to Trump, “My administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland.”

Members of the Forum will provide their individual views to the president, informed by their unique vantage points in the private sector on how government policy impacts economic growth, job creation and productivity.

We have intelligent people like this abroad and Nigeria is suffering economically.

Na "kill him, kill them" politicians dey Nigeria.

I thought Trump is a racist and his only reason for contesting in the 2019 election was to send all blacks home? I have been looking forward to the day that he will send Adichie home.

What are you saying? So because of a few desirable ones Trump is now a saint? Even during slave trade, some blacks were positioned to suppress and ensure slavery never dies. If I may ask does that make slavery right?

Hell No but most Nigerians are tribalists, even racists to a good extent so a tribalist and sexist like Adichie has no moral ground to condemn Trump even if he's truly a racists.

Adichie like any other persons was talking from an emotional place, it is normal with an unconventional election like the US. The issue of moral is out of the question as Trump himself showed no moral with his modus operandi.
