Reversing the brain drain should be a key priority for the next crop of leaders - Hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin

-


Keeping Nigeria’s best brains in the country has been described has one the most important priorities that should be tackled by the next crop of political and decision makers in the country.

The above position was postulated by Hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin in a press statement on Monday morning. The politician said that the increasing numbers of educated Nigerians migrating out of the country is becoming alarming, a trend he asserted must be put to a halt if there will be any meaningful growth and development.

Furthermore, hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin attributed the decline in the key sectors of health, banking, the judiciary and others to the syndrome that is now tagged as the "japa" syndrome. He then advanced the urgent need to retain our bright minds for the country to be able to move out of its current quagmire.

In addition he added that it is quite disheartening that the country seem to undervalue its human resources which is actually it's strength and most important component for growth and development. Hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin went further to say that any country that is unable to provide a conducive environment for its best brains to thrive and contribute to the development of that country is dying, hence the desperate need for the country to get things right in the coming elections.

What's more, he added that in both America and the United Kingdom about 80% of black doctors are Nigerians which has almost left the health system in Nigeria in comatose.

In conclusion, he then went ahead to suggest that the only way to halt this exodus of our best brains to foreign countries is to strive to replicate here at home the conditions that lure them to other countries, especially by providing steady power supply, quality educational and professional training, gainful employment opportunities, conducive working environment and security of lives and property as well as readiness to invest in research and technology.

RE: "I did not promise to build Labour party" Peter Obi is an epitome of dishonesty and a serial betrayal - Arabambi

Our attention has been drawn to a statement that was credited to HE Peter obi, the labour party presidential candidate at the 2023 general elections.   While addressing Nigerians on X space,  Peter obi was quoted as saying that "we promised to build Nigeria, we did not promise to build a New Labour Party". We find that statement to be shocking, appalling, awful, disgraceful, horrible and extremely shameful.  However we must state that we are not surprised at his comment especially as he had always exhibited acts of betrayal, disloyalty, treachery and outright breach of trust. Consequently, the labour party Nigeria will like to tender an unreserved apology to all Nigerians and especially all members of labour party for our indescretion, miscalculation, mistake and error of allowing a serial betrayal, insincere and dishonest individual to desecrate our well respected and Honourable platform to take advantage of innocent and unsuspecting populace. Accordingly, despite t...

LETTER OF LABOUR PARTY BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO INEC........ THIS IS WHY INEC STOPPED RECOGNISING ABURE AS THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF LABOUR PARTY The Nigeria Labour Congress has written the Independent National Electoral Commission, urging it to halt any support for the national convention of the Labour Party scheduled for March 27, 2024. In a Friday letter addressed to the Chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, the NLC accused the Chairman of the Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure, and his associates of planning an illegal convention in defiance of court orders. The NLC’s solicitors, Falana and Falana’s Chambers, in the letter dated March 22, 2024, highlighted the illegality of such a gathering, citing previous court rulings that declared the Labour Party’s status and ordered inclusive conventions. The NLC, in the letter signed by Marshal Abubakar, threatened legal action if INEC failed to comply with the demand to prevent what they deemed a breach of justice and the rule of law. The congress’ lette...

Ignore all machinations, Sola Ebiseni remains the Governorship candidate of Labour Party. Once again, the Labour Party Campaign Organisation is inundated with calls on the purported replacement of Chief Sola Ebiseni, our Governorship candidate, with Ayo Olorunfemi less than 24 hours to the Ondo State Governorship election tomorrow. Contrary to the false report, the candidacy of Ebiseni was the decision of the Party presided over by the National Working Committee led by Julius Abure of which Ayo Olorunfemi is a member after the latter, who was a placeholder, voluntarily withdrew his candidacy backed with sworn affidavit, an undisputed fact confirmed by the Courts. For the umpteenth time and avoidance of doubt, Ayo Olorunfemi was not a party to any of the cases either at the High Court or the Court of Appeal and his Appeal as an Interested party was dismissed. There is no subsisting order of any court directing the INEC to remove or replace the name of Chief Olusola Nehemiah Ebiseni and ...
