President Olusegun Obasanjo was another person that helped to open doors for Nigerian businesses. In one of his books he wrote about the time that he started "taking him out". The him refers to Alhaji Aliko Dangote and President Obasanjo was referring to the times that he included Aliko Dangote in his official delegations and introduced him to other African leaders. 6 Likes |

One of the reasons why US presidents take American business people on their trips is to open up avenues for them. Business people face a lot of restrictions when they want to invest abroad and presidents can get their counterparts to remove such restrictions (remember what happened to Air Peace and the Heathrow slot? It took the intervention of the minister of aviation to resolve the issue). Mark Smithson is from the UK Ministry of Business and Trade (DBT). He mentions Dr Jumoke Oduwole, who is the Nigerian minister of industry, trade and investment. Florence Eshalomi is a British-Nigerian who is a member of the British Parliament. Mark Smithson @MarkSmithsonDBT Great to accompany @FloEshalomi , @joduwole and many distinguished personalities to celebrate @ZenithBank opening of its Manchester branch- a great vote of confidence in this dynamic and vibrant city and 🇬🇧🇳🇬 Trade! @UKinNigeriahttps://x.com/i/status/2033931777778012553 3 Likes

Memphis357 and BetterScottish (same person using multiple accounts) did not add anything meaningful to the thread. They couldn't even contribute to the topic of conversation. They spent their time complaining about people that share the same charactseristic with them. They asked a question about such people and I told them that they should be able to answer the question since they share the same characteristic. That's all I said, yet they got annoyed. Can you imagine that? Anyway, I won't engage them again, I know what to do. Cc shortgun |

I've told you that Nigerians always make strange comments when their leaders travel and this time is no exception. I have addressed most of the strange comments, but this time I'm going to address something that I have rarely written about. Delegations I noticed the composition of the US president's entourage when he travelled in the 1980s. There were usually businessmen in his delegations and they usually struck deals with their hosts. I wondered why Nigerian presidents didn't do the same thing. President Ibrahim Babangida made me happy in the early 1990s. He travelled somewhere and took people like Chiefs Gabriel Igbinedion and Sonny Odogwu with him. I was happy. You see, the private sector is the engine of the economy and it is the private sector that grows the economy, not the government. I wanted Nigerian businessmen and companies to go out and conquer the world. Let's jump forward a few decades to another time that I was happy. President Goodluck Jonathan travelled to Kenya sometime around 2014 and his visit shook Africa. There were reports that Africa's richest men had descended on Nairobi, some reports were about the number of private jets that flew to Nairobi and the Kenyan finance minister also spoke about it. And over time I realised that it's not just the private sector, but the president also needs to go with heads of ministries, departments and agencies and also with state governors. We have seen the impact of such trips in recent years. Trips to China by President Muhammadu Buhari gave us the Lagos-Ibadan Rail Line, the Railway University, the completion of the Warri-Itakpe Line, etc. He took the minister of transport with him. Trips to the the Middle East (especially the UAE) by President Tinubu led to construction of free estates for victims of Boko Haram attacks and to programmes to render assistance to the victims. So President Tinubu has travelled to the UK and in his delegation are state governors, ministers, business executives, etc. Already funny Nigerians are saying that these people only went to the UK to "greet" President Tinubu. They don't know what they are talking about. There are very many events that are happening on the sidelines of the visit and they require the presence of these people (people are talking about Sanwo-Olu and General Musa, but a lot of these investments will be done in Lagos and of course Nigeria is in talks with the UK about training and equipment for our troops). I would have created a mega thread about these events if I could still post as many pictures as I wanted. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

President Bola Tinubu is on a state visit to the UK. Many Nigerian officials like ministers, state governors, heads of departments and agencies and private business people have joined him on the state visit. Many of these people are attending events on the sidelines of the visit and lots of agreements are being signed (some of these people arrived the UK before the president). For example, the minister of education Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa is in the UK to reach agreements with UK education officials. Dr. Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa I’m in London with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and we are already making real progress — advancing a major partnership with Coventry University to bring UK degrees to Nigeria.https://x.com/i/status/2034317280931369097 2 Likes
