The Federal Government on Thursday said it was seeking ways to end the trend of Nigerians relocating abroad.

The government also noted that it would work towards ensuring Nigerians were gainfully employed to discourage the need to travel abroad.

The Minister of State for Science, Technology and Innovation, Henry Ikoh, made the statement in Abuja while receiving the Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organisation, Ms Deemah Yahya, who paid him a courtesy visit in connection with the upcoming Digital Nigeria Day Conference.

He said the government intended to correct the trend through industrialisation, which could be achieved by synergising with the DCO in the area of human capital development.

His word: “The synergy is what we require, capacity building is key and technology transfer is what Nigeria and Africa in particular needs at the moment so that the world can be a global village. We need to collaborate in all areas to ensure harmony.

”If we collaborate and synergise in the area of human capital development, it would guarantee industrialisation, when people are gainfully employed and moved out from poverty, then Africans and Nigerians would not be struggling to travel abroad because everything is here. We have all the raw materials; what we really require in terms of digitalisation is for us to cross fertilise ideas, train and retrain our people then things would be better.”

Yahya said the group was in Nigeria to understudy her digital ecosystem and understand who the players were.

She said, “We are very proud that Nigeria is a founding member of the Digital Corporation Organisation, which is a multilateral organisation that focuses on advancing the digital economy in member states. We represent 12 countries, from three continents, representing 600 million in population and $2 trillion in the GDP.

“We are very happy that Nigeria has been a founding member and we are here not only to reiterate our commitment to empowering digital economic transformation strategies of Nigeria but also to understand the ecosystem of Nigeria, being the players in terms of government, private sector, and civil society. It is also for us to understand how the DCO can help support the growth of Nigeria and hopefully be an enabler.”

The PUNCH reports that there has been an increase in the rate of migration of Nigerians to other countries.

Isjaymoh:
Good afternoon beautiful people.

I need your assistance on this issue. My wife is interested in applying for studies visa in Australia but we need someone to assist us in to procedure. Like how much is their college tuition fee, when is the best time to apply because she plan to travel next year.

Thanks

First of all, google is your nearest friend.

Search for AL1 schools based on her choice course and locate an agent of your choice on the school website. The agent will helps out till the visa is out.

NOW is the best time to start for next year 2023.

Final advice, make sure you all follow up with the agent until the visa is out because sometimes the agent are too slow or make mistakes or etc.

Snitch24:
are we just going to sit and watch the emefiele guy destroy our currency
and still hold the president accountable for it
theres alot of things we dont pay attention to in this country
with the introduction of this new currency design
there's definitely no doubt of $/800
whats the hope that it will stop at 1200/$

We can't do anything because we have bad government who's planned to suffer the masses. Definitely, $1 is going to #1000 in few months time.

As usual the legacy of thieffnubu.

He's behind this.

Tinubu will never rule Nigeria.

Only God knows about it. But I know very well that this Lagos Island fire every year is not normal

Nigeria’s local currency unit is set to weaken further next year as its current exchange rate to the dollar is well above fair value, the Bank of America (BofA) has said.

BofA economist, Tatonga Rusike, in a note to clients yesterday said the forecast based on three indicators – the widely-used black-market rate, the central bank’s real effective exchange rate, and “our own currency fair value analysis” – show that the naira is 20 per cent overvalued.

“We see scope for it to weaken by an equivalent amount over the next six-nine months, taking it to as high as N520 per USD,” Rusike said.

While the naira will come under increasing pressure “due to limited government external borrowing,” devaluation is unlikely to happen until after the February 2023 presidential elections, the bank said.

Nigeria operates a multiple exchange regime dominated by a tightly controlled official exchange rate and a parallel market where the currency is freely traded.

The naira exchanged at N440.95 to the dollar in the official spot market as of 12.15pm and about N731.46 in the parallel market, according to @naira_rates, a Twitter account that tracks the black market.

The official rate has depreciated by less than 10 per cent since December 2021 even as the parallel rate is down by nearly a third within the same period, widening the gap to almost 70 per cent, BofA analysis showed.

“The greater the disparity with the official market, the higher the likelihood of increasing excess demand for foreign currency on the parallel market,” the bank said.

Analysts have expressed concerns about the impact of the elections on the value of the Naira to the USD in 2023.

In May during the party primaries, demand for the dollar at both official and black markets rose to new heights as politicians mopped up the greenback for electioneering campaigns.

The uptick in dollar demand has led to depreciation of the naira, which closed at over N600/$1 at the parallel market .

Analysts warned that rising demands for foreign exchange could throw the naira exchange rate out of equilibrium. Such an adverse scenario must be prevented through proactive monetary policy.

The chief executive officer, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), Dr Muda Yusuf, said, “What is needed at this time is a fundamental reform of the foreign exchange ecosystem.”

According to him, the current forex policy has created enormous distortions which need to be fixed as a matter of priority, adding that the unprecedented gap between the official exchange rate and open market rate is hurting the economy and crippling investment.

“We need to move quickly to reduce this premium. This is a more important conversation than the view of the Bank of America on our exchange rate,” he explained.

On his part, the managing director, Morgan Capital Securities Limited and an economic analyst, Rotimi Olubi, said electioneering for 2023 general elections will further increase foreign portfolio outflows and cause Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to remain on the sidelines.

He listed other factors expected to cause further outflow, including rate hikes and capital controls by the monetary authorities.

Olubi added that the foreign exchange would likely come under strong pressure as interest rate hikes in advanced economies would result in portfolio outflows from emerging markets.

Head of Financial Institutions’ Ratings, Agusto & Co, Mr. Ayokunle Olubunmi, noted that “what we are seeing is not different; it is something we see every election cycle. First of all, the election period is always characterised by a lot of demand for FX because wanting to give someone N100 million is very difficult in naira but if I just have it in dollars, it is easier.

Olubunmi noted that in the coming months, the election industry will continue to boom while the other sectors of the economy not related to elections will take the back seat in terms of growth.

For the economy in general, he said “there is something you can call the election-related industry, so things like printing, advertising, and all those areas will actually be recording a boom now.

“For the economy generally, it is not like 2019 when we knew the president is likely to come back; now there would be a new president in 2023 and we don’t know the person or his stance on the economy. So, most businesses are waiting and nobody is talking about expansion. So, most businesses are not in an expansionary mode. So, there would be a slowdown in the business activities in the economy except for businesses that are election-related and businesses that are resilient like banking,” he said.

YinkusG:
Hello everyone,
I am about to process my refund but I don’t want it back to Nigeria bank account. What is the best alternative to hold the fund and have it paid to a new school in Australia.
Kindly advise, good people.

If you have a trusted friend or relatives over there, tell the school to send it to him. If they send it to Nigeria, you will lose alot. So, check well and decides.

ocpaschal:
Hello guys. If one is a graduate (BSc holder) with a 2nd class lower division (GPA of 3.04 / 5), within the age bracket of 28-30 years old, and with a study gap of 7yrs since graduation (2015), is it still possible to apply for a bachelor degree in Community Development at Australia universities and get admission or study visa despite the study gap and age factor?

Yes, you can gets admission and study visa but there are some criteria that you have to looks at before doing so like, can you defends what you have been doing since you graduated in the year 2015 till date? Do you have ties that linked to your home country? And soon.

Hello House,

Please I have an issue, it’s been close to a month now and I am yet to receive my COE from my school (Torrens) after paying fees.
I declined starting online and asked to defer to next year but it’s been too much hassle from Torrens ever since.
I’ve sent emails across multiple times and my agents too has been following up but there’s no positive response yet.

I don’t know if there’s anyone that is experiencing such from Torrens as well.

Should I keep emailing the school concerning my COE? I’m really desperate for answers and feedback.

Pls stops sending them emails frequently. It will looks like you were desperate. You can as well put them on call.

olamse:
Pls house, I greet you all. My state is trying to sponsor (partial) some indigenes to Australia via study route. The unis are Jamescook University in Brisbane and University of New England, Armadale. Pls those that are there already, which among the two will be easier for a family of 5 to settle in based on availability of work and living expenses. The scholarship is partial and we need to work to pay off. I appreciate your inputs.

teejaybee:
I got a refusal today with the following comment:

'I acknowledge that the applicant has family ties to their home country and place some weight
on that in favour of the applicant. However, I have concerns that these ties may not be a
strong enough incentive for the applicant to depart Australia upon completion of their studies.
I give more weight to consideration of the applicant’s potential economic circumstances
in their home country compared to Australia and the value of the course to the applicant’s
future.
While I accept that obtaining qualifications from an Australian educational institution may
positively influence employment and remuneration prospects in an applicant’s home country,
I am not satisfied that the applicant demonstrated how they would achieve this against the
background of prevailing economic circumstances in their home country. The applicant
implied a career pathway intention in their home country and how this would be an incentive
for them to return, but did not provide any convincing evidence to support this. I have
considered the applicant’s likely earning capacity in Australia and in their home country.
Based on the information before me, I am not satisfied the financial incentives to return home
outweigh the financial incentives to remain in Australia. I therefore place little weight on the
applicant’s implied intention.'

This reason seems vague as it compares Nigeria economic situation with that of Australia on a broader view.
How can i remediate this refusal reason in subsequent application?

I solicit your responses. Thanks

I started this journey in 2020.

Sorry about the refusal but don't give up.

Even if we are going to look at your case, only you can detect where the problem is coming. Please take your time and go through everything. You will discover, why you were denied. Please make sure that things have improved on your side, before applying again.

Cheers!

Appdriod:
Una no see this question? Abi una wan make I delete the thread?

You ready to pay us, to answer you ASAP? No money, no answer for you ooo

WestAfrican:
You need to work on why you were refused in the first place. If your circumstances on refusal hasn't change, you most probably will be refused again.

We're lucky Australia gives reason for refusal, lot of countries don't. Which makes it more difficult when reapplying.

Japan doesn't give reason and they won't charge you fees. China is useless.

Hahaha... China is useless abeg, fear those Chinko guys o

Ijaay83:
She is my aunt from maternal side. My mums sister. She is married and bears a different surname . I will submit her birth certificate to show relationship

Good luck to you and remember to share it here

Ijaay83:
Sorry am asking too many questions. My sponsor is about to print her bank statement and I need to make sure everything is right.


My aunt who wants to sponsor me is a banker,must the proof of fund be the salary account?Because she said that she doesn’t leave her money in naria, that she changes to dollars. So if she presents her dollar account,instead of her salary account,would that work?

Anyhow she want to do it... So far, the money is in her personal account. It will fly. I hope your sponsor is related to you, that is bearing the same surname?

Ijaay83:
How about having the money in a fixed deposit? Would that work. I mean my sponsor having the money in a fixed deposit

YES, fixed deposit can fly too but let it be 3 months upwards before you can submit it.
