Jim Ovia Withdraws From The World Economic Forum by ryloy: 9:23am On Sep 05, 2019 |
JIM OVIA WITHDRAWS FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM Following the hypersensitivity of the issues surrounding the lives and well-being of Nigerian citizens living in South Africa and to contribute his voice against the poor state of security regarding foreign nationals living in Africa, the Founder/Chairman of Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Jim Ovia has withdrawn from further activities at the World Economic Forum Africa 2019, taking place in Cape Town, South Africa. Before taking his exit, Mr. Ovia stressed the need for youth empowerment and better government policies to curb continual attacks on persons living within and outside Africa. He belaboured that until positive change towards collective growth happens on this front, the continent would not reach its potential. Mr. Ovia added that full support should be rendered in vocational education of the young persons living in not just Nigeria but Africa. According to him, the Jim Ovia Foundation has taken up a stance on this issue, having empowered over 3,500 students and entrepreneurs since its inception. He called on other members of the private sector to join hands and solve this menace plaguing the African continent. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jimoviafoundation_youthempowerment-forafrica-activity-6575262599296897024-tnko 13 Likes 1 Share

That's what happens when you have a snail slow president. Jim Ovia obviously didn't get any hint of a united response from the Nigerian government as somebody was busy picking his teeth for 48 hours. Finally, he was dragged out to hold a photo shoot session where Osinbajo later cancelled his SA travel. This should have been done like 28 hours ago before even Jim hopped on the plane. The country is on auto pilot. 121 Likes 7 Shares |

I will only take this 'withdrawing' trend serious when Nigerians married to South Africans withdraw from their spouses Meanwhile, as part of my own protest against Xenophobia, I 'withdrew' before I came inside Rosie And I plan on making many more such 'withdrawals' until Xenophobia is is dead and buried 25 Likes |
