Nigeria: Ajimobi Hails Akande's Emergence As First African-American President of U.S. College


Ibadan — Governor of Oyo State, Senator Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi has hailed the emergence of Dr. Benjamin Akande as the first African-American President of the Westminster College, United States saying this is another global recognition for the contributions of Nigerians in the Diaspora to the body of knowledge.

According to Governor Ajimobi, the feat by Dr. Akande, an indigene of Awe in Oyo State, was a defining moment for the country and an affirmation that the United States' reward system was devoid of racial bias.

The Governor therefore encouraged other Nigerians staying outside the shores of the country to emulate the commitment, dedication and competence of Dr. Akande, whom he described as a worthy ambassador of the state.

I thought about putting this on FP but the flattie mods are more excited about mediocre and archaic battery stoves?

laudate:
Yes, I remember, but I am more interested in how a methodology can be fashioned out to help the unemployed tap into these areas. First, they need information. As stated earlier, this can be provided through various community associations, trade groups, religious organisations, schools and media houses.

Next they need financing. Now CBN is offering the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund (ACGSF), the Agricultural Credit Support Scheme (ACSS), the Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme (CACS) and Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme (ACGS) through various banks. But how many existing and prospective farmers have access to it?

These farmers need to submit documentation which most of them do not have, or do not have the educational capacity to put together in the prescribed format required by the CBN. This is where professionals at home and in the diaspora can come in.

If they can offer consultancy services to these farmers at a subsidised rate or for free, to help them package their documentation in the right way, then these farmers can access the funds through their banks.

Such services can be offered on a quarterly or bi-annual basis, similar to those medical missions that are often packaged by medical personnel working abroad, who fly back to the country once or twice a year to offer medical care to the poor and indigent folks in the hinterlands.

This is clean analysis.......I somehow feel like organizations like DAWN addresses most of this issues. They also invest and encourage agriculture.

Lunch time.....

When one antagonises one's friends, who person fo dey play with ?

The RN thing is just habit cos that is what most people fall on when they relocate...... Abi i lie?

Anti Ileke, mo ro wipe ise imo ero ni e un se ni. So alabere ni yin.

Not at all. I thought you were trying to insult me with that statement because most Nigerian women in America are RNs. I can't be a nurse, I hate the smell of hospitals.

New Yoruba newspaper, IROYIN OWURO, out

Source- The Guardian

AT a time many are clamouring for the revival of indigenous languages and other values, a new Yoruba newspaper called IROYIN OWURO has been unveiled.

With a seasoned librarian/journalist, Asafa Salam, as its editor, the weekly publication hit the newsstand last December.

According to its publishers, it is a general-news medium with a bias for the socioeconomic and cultural development of the Yoruba and Nigerians in general.

One of its publishers, Mr. Yinka Alabi, explained that IROYIN OWURO came on stream to fill the gap created by newspapers published in the English Language.

He said that millions of people who cannot read or write in English or are not in mainstream communities had been more or less isolated.

“But we want to fill the gap here. We want to report people, events and institutions the way the media published in English do. We are set for the revival of Yoruba culture and language, but we will report politics, economy, entertainment, sports and business in a factual, up-to-date and inspiring manner,” the publisher said.
