Foreigners looking to work in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy, might be out of luck.

An executive order signed by Nigeria’s president Buhari on Monday (Feb. 5) “prohibits the ministry of interior from giving visas to foreign workers whose skills are readily available in Nigeria.” It’s not a blanket ban though. The executive order states that foreigners will be considered for jobs “where it is certified by the appropriate authority that such expertise is not available in Nigeria.” The executive order also tells government agencies to “give preference to Nigerian companies and firms in the award of contracts.”

In a tweet, president Buhari said the order was in line with his vision of a “Nigeria that produces what it consumes.” As such, the executive order is likely aimed at boosting local production and guaranteeing more patronage for local industries. Buhari also hopes the order will see “local companies get preference” in “planning, designing and executing” science, technology and engineering-related projects. The hope is a boost to local companies will result in a ripple effect for job creation which is crucial given Nigeria’s high unemployment rate.

But the restriction on hiring foreigners could be seen to conflict with the government’s recent move to more open visa policies. Last year, amid business reforms, the government relaxed visa rules and opened additional immigration offices to make it easier to obtain residence permits.

With elections coming up next year, Buhari’s administration might also be betting that being seen to restrict the number of foreign workers will appeal to voters in a country with millions of unemployed people. But the number of unemployed Nigerians that can take up the mainly specialist roles for which expatriates are typically recruited will only be a tiny fraction of the millions of job-seeking Nigerians.

It’s not the first time president Buhari has pushed nationalist and populist views in office. He has railed against Nigerians importing “luxury” foreign goods. It’s a sentiment that has been evident during his administration as well. In 2016, amid a forex crunch, the central bank limited spending on Nigerians’ debit cards once outside the country. Indeed, amid Nigeria’s first recession in two decades, highly-placed government officials, including the senate president, backed a social media campaign tagged “buy Naija to grow the naira.” The rationale, as they saw it, was simple. If Nigerians spent their money buying local products rather than foreign goods, the economy and the troubled currency would benefit more.

So what is bad or wrong in what he said? Similar rules have been enacted by other foreign countries in the past, to protect the jobs of their citizens.

""I have noticed that you harbour a lot of ill-feelings against the Yoruba people""

We haven't gotten to the ill feeling part yet so don't go there for now.
I'm still talking about what Yoruba are known for n that is cowardice n treachery. Across the entire Nigeria landmass, Yoruba are known for that. Wen we kno u guys for something else, u will equally know.

You love propaganda, sha! Why do you always think that anyone who disagrees with your perspective is a Yoruba man? Tell us, o! Did you fail exams in general knowledge studies, when you were in school?

''My neighbour was an active member of NADECO, so we got first hand info, about all what was being done to frustrate Abacha, and get Abiola in the saddle"

List what nadeco did to frustrate abacha Or are they invincible to the naked eyes

"Your fairytale about the ill-treatment meted out to Dausuki's lineage, being the reason for the sanctions against Abacha's govt, is pure hogwash!"

Stop deceiving ur self oga, I didn't say that the ill treatment meted on dasukis was why abacha was sanctioned.

""The agreement to draft the presidency to the Southwest in 1999""

Show me the drafted agreement that mandated that presidency must go to the SW in 1999

I told you your problem earlier, but you didn't believe me. What NADECO did to frustrate Abacha, is info that is in the public domain. Google is your friend. Why are you too lazy to conduct some research?

And you were the one who made reference to the British being angry with Abacha for deposing the Dasuki family, from the Sultanate. That is a fairytale, that you have woven for yourself. The British govt never took an official position on Dasuki being deposed, and never lodged a complaint against Abacha on the matter. Only God knows where you got your story from.

As for the agreement that the presidency should be drafted to the SW in 1999, if it did not exist how come both parties only fielded Yoruba men as their candidates? Were there no Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Ijaw or people from other ethnic groups, who were interested in the presidency at that time?

Prince Madumere says it is same type of political agreement that brought PDP Presidential candidate Olusegun Obasanjo to power in 1999. He defeated a fellow Yoruba Olu Falae, who was the favorite of opposing parties:

"It’s all about understanding. It was done to the West (Yoruba) at time back in the 1998-99 section. It was an understanding that all the parties must field Yoruba (as candidates). It was a general consensus. The A-P-P (All Peoples Party) nominated a Yoruba man, the then P-D-P (Peoples’ Democratic Party) nominated a Yoruba. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.voanews.com/amp/308343.html

I have noticed that you harbour a lot of ill-feelings against the Yoruba people. Why? Did one of then teach you a bitter lesson at any point in time? Or did your wife run away with one of them? Just curious.

""And they both gave Abacha, the torment of his life!""

Oga pls learn not to unnecessarily hype Yorubas with this kind of baseless lies, especially in Nigeria. U can tell these cock n bull stories to togolese n Ghanaians in Nigeria. Abiola died n nothing happened, did nadeco blow up any internal pipeline export pipeline in Nigeria?? WhatsApp exactly did they do to Abacha? Abacha Sat in aso rock n sold crude oil till he died, Yorubas did nothing.

"".they are just busy strategizing""

They have been busy strategizing from 1960 till now without taking any action. They strategized for 5 years while Abiola was in prison.
They also kept strategizing wen awolowo was in prison until the igbos who obviously had guts freed Awolowo.

""when key members of Abacha's govt were barred from visiting countries like UK, US and some EU nations""

Oh pls, stop this trash. Na only Abacha be president for the world whey his cabinet members were barred from entering US n other allied nations

Abacha quarelled with the UK, US n many European nations during his time in office n that got severe sanctions slapped on Nigeria n on Abacha key friends n officials. Abacha even remove the Sultanate (The Dasuki's) lineage setup by the British before they left in 1960 n slotted in his own men. This heavily angered the Royal family of great Britain.

""The rest of the country conceded the presidency to the South-West""

Oga wen where u born

In 1999 it was greed that The south should rule for 4 - 8 years and After that the north will rule for 4 - 8 years and that has been how our democracy played out, it has/had absolutely nothing to do with Abiola or nadeco or Kudirat radio.

If the Yorubas were fearless war men, Abacha n the north wouldn't have gone free for imprisoning n killing of Awolowo.

The slaughter of Awolowo isn't just a killing of a Yoruba national leader -

It was killing of of national leader for no single reason.

Abiola won a free, peaceful n competent presidential election n he was jailed for it.

To top it all he was jailed indefinitely.

If he was at least sworn in as president n then Abacha removed or killed him in a coup, It would have been different.

You know your problem? Even if the truth came and hit you in the face, you still won't believe it. But if propaganda took up a seat beside you, you would embrace it as the 'truth.'

I was already born when Abiola was jailed. I may not have been old enough to vote when he contested on the platform of SDP, but I witnessed the events following that election, and the outcome of IBB and Abacha's actions. IBB was given no option, but to 'step aside', in his famous words.

My neighbour was an active member of NADECO, so we got first hand info, about all what was being done to frustrate Abacha, and get Abiola in the saddle. Sadly, Abiola was poisoned by the infamous tea he drank.

The agreement to draft the presidency to the Southwest in 1999, was simply due to the fact that everyone knew Abiola won that election, but was denied the presidency. So that decision was taken to pacify the Southwest. The agitations in the SW being sponsored by Nadeco and Radio Kudirat, had taken its' toll.

Your fairytale about the ill-treatment meted out to Dausuki's lineage, being the reason for the sanctions against Abacha's govt, is pure hogwash! Go and read up on the history of the events that occurred during that period.

An Elusive Target: Nigeria fends off sanctions
Richard L. Sklar / p. 259-287

...... Chief Moshood Abiola, candidate of the Social Democratic Party, was elected decisively, having obtained 58 per cent of the total votes and, as required for a first-ballot victory, at least one-third of the votes in 20 of the 30 states.

Nigerian monitors and foreign observers alike, had pronounced the election free and fair, finding that it was tainted with far less corruption, malpractice and violence than any previous presidential or national legislative election since the country attained independence......

Despite these deviations from democratic norms, the Nigerian electorate voted for the presidential candidates in good faith, but its choice was rejected arbitrarily, for reasons that remain obscure to this day. Britain, the United States, and the European Union then imposed various sanctions on Nigeria, including the suspension of military assistance and American economic aid, and denial of entry into the United States for Nigerian officials. http://books.openedition.org/ifra/647

Unless you have a more valid reason why TWO Yoruba men were fielded as candidates on the platform of opposing parties during the 1999 election, then I suggest you keep quiet.

Finally where did you hear this story about "Abacha n the north wouldn't have gone free for imprisoning n killing of Awolowo?" When and how did Abacha imprison and kill Awolowo?

FisifunKododada:
The ONLY offensive by Biafra against Nigeria was led by a Yoruba man, Victor Banjo. Ojukwu of cursed memory tried to invade Ore and was beaten back severely by Yoruba soldiers. The Oyo empire was built by the sweat and blood of our great ancestors. That is why today, Yorubas extend all the way to Togo and Ghana. Your lazy and cowardly ancestors did not build a single village square not to talk of empire. This is the singular reason why the Igbos are landlocked and you can never see the ocean from Igboland. You are the cowards but we will let you talk because we really do not consider you relevant in the large scheme of things

Chimo!! See finishing...! Such savagery, haba. You for take am easy, nah...biko.

PrecisionFx:
Pls remove Abacha date of death from this matter.

Answer my question, what did Yoruba do wen Abiola was imprisoned for 5 years n killed?

Don't joke with those Yoruba people, o! I have learnt that when they are quiet, it doesn't mean they are weak....they are just busy strategizing. After Abiola was killed, some of their guys went to the trenches. NADECO was formed. Radio Kudirat took over the airwaves. And they both gave Abacha, the torment of his life!

That was when key members of Abacha's govt were barred from visiting countries like UK, US and some EU nations. Sanctions were applied against Nigeria by foreign govts. What happened next? The rest of the country conceded the presidency to the South-West, and two Yoruba men emerged as presidential candidates of both parties: Chief Olusegun Mathew Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo, GCFR, emerged on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while Chief Olu Falae became the flagbearer of both the All People's Party (APP), and the Alliance for Democracy (AD). OBJ won that election in 1999. The rest as they say, is history.

They do not use their money to fund investigation. Go and report any crime or theft at a police station in Lagos, and the first thing they would ask you for is 'mobilisation' fee. Each time you go back for an update, they would tell you to drop something for the IPO. You can keep doing this for several months, without any concrete progress in the case.

Yep, the Minister of Unfair Banning and Vindictiveness among the NL Mods, is at it again. What is the tenure for breaching rule 2, now? A ban that lasts for 1, 2, 3 or 6 months?

Beautiful article. I wish everyone could think like this. But no...they will not. Even when you make an ordinary remark devoid of tribalism, the haters whose brains are filled with bile, would be the first to accuse you of bigotry and call you unprintable names.

At first, I used to be quiet. But now, I give them back a taste of their own medicine, by serving them straight with the same kind of gutter language, they used on me.

With this kind of brain, Nigeria will never make progress. Why do great countries allow integration? Because it allows for inclusion, which brings about diversity. Have you noticed that the greatest diversified countries actually rule the world?

UK, Germany, Canada, Italy, Bazil etc.

Nigeria will make progress when every state is allowed to develop properly at its' own pace. Running away from your state, to go and claim another person's state simply because your place is under-developed, and you want to gain benefits from a developed state, instead of holding your own leader accountable, smacks of cowardice and dishonesty.

i can GUARANTEE everyone that you are Igbo....the ONLY tribe that carry this indigineship thing for head. Whats wrong with you guys dragging indigineship? Are you not proud of una area?africa is NOT America! It is in africa that you see totally different custom,language, mode of dressing, dialect,religion in just 30 kilometers from different towns. Our customs are so unique compared to america hence its preservation. If you no like am, move to your zone!

Thank you, o!! It makes me cringe when I see such slavish, silly posts. I have spent several years in Lagos, but I can never claim Lagos or SW as my state of origin, when my forefathers came from somewhere totally different. I will always love Lagos and the people of the SW for the kindness they have shown to me, but I can never covet their land.... Mba nu!

MRLANNISTER:
You are very correct. Until we drop "state of origin" We will not move forward. Ethnicity is too enshrined in our DNA. With state of residence. Okechukwu can come from Ogun State and Adeyemi can come from Imo while Bala is from Akwa Ibom. You dont have to return to Anambra to be able to contest for elections if you have lived in Ekiti all you life.

God will NOT allow that to happen. Why should Okechukwu come from Ogun state? What happened to the land of his forefathers? Who will develop the place for him?
