Be patient with govt, Adeniran pleads with Nigerians
By VICTOR OGBONNAYA
Thursday, October 7, 2004

 

Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Germany, Professor Tunde Adeniran has called on Nigerians to exercise patience with the nation’s leaders in their current efforts to tackle the complex and diverse nature of Nigeria’s multi-ethnic society problems and transform the socio-economic and political structures.

Professor Adeniran who made the appeal in Berlin while addressing Nigerians on the occasion of Nigeria’s Independence Day anniversary said "we still are not saying hurray at last because of the sheer enormity, which the country’s problems had assumed over the years before the return to democracy in 1999."

He emphasised the need for Nigerians residing in Germany to live up to expectation by not under-rating the importance of their contribution to the development of Nigeria, adding that, "your contribution should begin with encouragement of greater cohesion, justice in all aspects of our lives, democratic principles and uninhibited patriotism."

He added, "we are delighted to also report that the Federal Government has been steadfast in addressing the various socio-economic problems facing the country," calling for greater commitment to the nation’s infrastructural development especially power generation and supply nationwide to stoke up the industries and manufacturing sector.

Professor Adeniran noted that the recently launched Federal Government National Economic Empowerment Development Strategy (NEEDS) had received international acclaim, urging Nigerians to help make it a reality especially in the fight against poverty and under-development in the country.

According to the ambassador, "what makes NEEDS unique is that, unlike other economic development policies ever designed by the Federal Government of Nigeria, this one has won the support of the state governments which have adopted the policy within the framework of State Economic Empowerment Development Strategy (SEEDS).

On the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), the Nigerian diplomat noted that it was expected to impact positively on Nigeria’s economic development efforts especially "from the enlarged capital flow, increased market access, increased in-flow of foreign investment, rapid industrialisation and the reversal of the brain-drain, as well as sustainable development of the environment.
