The outgoing Ambassador of Norway to Nigeria, Jens-Petter Kjemprud, on Friday listed the organisation of two donor conferences that raised $1bn for the development of the North East as one of his achievements in office.

According to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Kjemprud said this during a virtual farewell meeting he had with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

The statement titled, ‘President Buhari commends impressive Norwegian support at ambassador’s farewell,’ read, “The outgoing ambassador, in his speech, said his four-year tenure had grown economic relations between the two nations substantially, noting in particular, the presence of more than 70 Norwegian companies in the country as well as the important step by the Norwegian Sovereign Welfare Fund to invest in the Nigerian Stock Exchange.


“He also cited as a very important achievement, the organisation of two donor conferences driven by Norway that raised more than $1bn for the development and humanitarian assistance to the North East.”

Shehu also quoted the President as expressing delight at the progress made in Nigeria-Norwegian relations in the last four years.


He said the President commended the envoy for the bilateral accomplishment in the area of oil and gas, fishing, humanitarian assistance in the Northeast and other benefits that his efforts have brought to Nigeria.

“I congratulate you on your performance and hard work and for the help in the promotion of welfare of people in the North East where we have problem of Internally Displaced Persons, and in infrastructural deficit. We are very grateful. Thank you,” the President reportedly told the envoy.

You guys have been scammed, cos the money assisted looters & not the northeast. Can you see why those cashing out will never want this crisis to end.

These people have got a nice hustle going on here! Few days ago, another international body (think it was UN) said they’ve poured $1.5 billion into the north by way of ‘humanitarian effort’!

Looks like it’s not just the World Bank Buhari secretly told to concentrate their interventionist efforts in the north!

APC & their northern cabals are really crooks.
They chop & clean mouth like international organizations doesn't donate cash relief for infrastructural development as a result of book haram activities up north then set up NEDC thru the national assembly to continue to funnel Niger Delta oil money up North.

Lol....

lol. Meanwhile, they sent terrorist to take over the southern part of Nigeria.

Buhari also told world bank to concentrate on the North and leave the south.

The southern politicians the most useless politicians on the face of the earth

If you add up what foreign bodies and the federal gov’ts (since GEJ) have given or spent in the core north for humanitarian, military and ‘reconstruction’ purposes since 2010, e fit reach $20 billion! Most of this going into private pockets!

No mind them...

That's for repented, rehabilitated, forgiven, and recycled terrorists.

I don't think all that's been reporting from north is the reality on ground, some are fabricated just to continue the flow of money into their pockets.

I don't even trust that Bornu governor (Zulum) even that his convoy attack seems staged.

Southern Nigeria should wake up from slumber.

The corruption going on in the north east development commission makes NDDC's child's play.
