Governor Mbah, along with 5 other governors from different zones, is in London as part of President Tinubu’s state visit to the UK. The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Dr. Kingsley Udeh, SAN, is also on the delegation

I hope the discussions are fruitful one towards taking Nigeria to the next level. Everyone has just been interested in Nigeria lately. Nigeria must be great again

Good for them, that is an opportunity to bring direct investment to their different states...

They went there because of the side events.

There are so many side events.

I created this post yesterday.

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.

And your country is on fire.,... bandit they operate everywhere, no light, bad economy, Nigeria leaders are so wicked.

We pray for more fruitful connections to world! More FX, more industries coming in! More productive capacity, more export capacity and more!

Country is in shambles these fools are smiling.

Which country? Maybe your village! Obi will come here and be talking about Indonesia, Malaysia, China, etc but when Tinubu goes out to connect they shift the narrative! How do you fix things without getting the right connections?

Each state have been empowered by the constitution to be able to provide electricity! Only Lagos is at the forefront here! See Enugu too!

See people wey na only state capitals no dey under terrorists full control

I live in the UK. To be honest with you guys. They are interested in your oil. The Iran war has made importation of oil from Middle East difficult and they can’t deal with banned Russia.

The only alternative at the moment is Africa. That’s the reason for all the romance nothing more.

. They shouldn't travel again?

Jobless individuals. Incompetent folks everywhere you look. Misplaced priorities.

Which investor is going to come to this level of insecurity and corruption. Is it the epileptic power situation or deplorable infrastructure,these are just useless trips that will only end up impoverishing the nation more

It's technically not possible (because of Nairaland's restrictions), but I'm going to try and create many smaller threads.

State Visit: Coventry University To Establish Campus In Lagos

My governor Mr. Babjide Sanwoolu otun Sanwoo Eko is representing well.
Kudos

Never heard of governors and state leaders traveling around with Trump, Xi Jinping, Putin, Zelensky, etc, especially when things are going wrong in their nations.

Someone seeing such images and reports would conclude that Nigeria is a very prosperous nation.

dapelua:

What is the solution to banditry? How does the ministry of defense get all the required assistance in training and equipments if they do not go to countries producing these weapons for help?

Many of this equipments are off the shelves. Even Zelensky of Ukrain is always traveling for support, if Ukrain were Nigeria, many will still criticize him for going out to seek help.

Same Nigerians led by Peter Obi will criticize government for not doing enough about insecurity, same Nigerians will still criticize govt for going out to seek help. With multiple wars globally, ammunition is becoming very scarce, you need diplomacy to get through, many comment from their position of ignorance, just to comment for the sake of comment even when it does not make sense.

Earnest Okonkwo, a new supporter of Atiku, who is still living in bondage was ranting about Tinubu's traveling yesterday night on Channels TV

When you criticize all the time, you lose relevance and you become what Femi Adeshina called, "Wailing wailers"

Governor Mbah knows he could strike multiple deals for his states, by attending that London trip with PBAT.

Ignorance is indeed, a big disease.

A lot of fhem are too shallow in thinking. They don’t know that when these investments start happening, they may not here about it again.

A few weeks ago that I traveled on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway made me believe those investments are really coming but they are not making noise. Everywhere on those corridors, is busy with industrial constructions.

It is the very fact that you are not prosperous that you need to travel to the prosperous nations to present your offers .

If you have a proposal for Dangote is it Dangote that will go to meet you or you will lobby to get a meeting with him , simple common sense is indeed actually not common .

This is why many activists who end up in govt either fail or do the exact thing they once criticised, because when they get into the office they suddenly realise things are not the way they thought it was outside government.

Yah, though I need to point out to you that when they get the oil, they wont drink it, it is so that someone like you will have fuel to drive on the road.

I also want to point out that your view would have made more sense if not that the trip had been planned well ahead of the US attack on Iran.

See how elected Governors be looking like boy boy to Tinubu 😥🤔
