  • Letter No. 1/2021 1 March 2021 Dear Sir Or Madam
    Letter No. 1/2021 1 March 2021 Dear Sir or Madam, I have the honour to present my compliments and am delighted to deliver the latest edition of Japanese Ambassador’s Newsletter to you. This newsletter is also my last edition. Once again, I would like to thank you for your responses to my newsletters issued up until now. 【Japan-Nigeria: Diamond Jubilee and Beyond】 As I mentioned in the previous edition, last October marked the 60th independence anniversary of Nigeria as well as the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Nigeria. Furthermore, 26 December last year also marked the 60th anniversary of the opening of the Japanese Embassy in Nigeria. Since the establishment of the Embassy of Japan in Nigeria in 1960, the Embassy has been solely in charge of Nigeria. It was a great pleasure and honour for me to commemorate such a momentous year as Ambassador of Japan to Nigeria. I look forward to further deepening our bilateral relations towards the 70th anniversary and beyond. 【New WTO leader】 On 15 February, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was selected as the first woman and the first African Director- General of the World Trade Organization (WTO). I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Nigeria on the selection, which was long-awaited and widely-supported by member countries. Please allow me to take this opportunity to share with you some connections between Japan and Dr. Okonjo-Iweala. Firstly, Dr. Okonjo-Iweala has been a member of the International Advisory Board of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) since 2017.

  • OPEN LETTER to PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR by Chief (Dr.) E
    OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR By Chief (Dr.) E. K. Clark, OFR, CON Mr. President, LET US CALL A SPADE, A SPADE! Let me, begin by, expressing earnest gratitude and appreciation to Mr. President, for congratulating me, both on my 92nd and 93rd Birthday anniversaries. I deeply cherish the thoughtful gesture, and the kind remarks. As Mr. President, rightly stated in the two congratulatory messages, I have rendered over 70 years of my life to the service of this country, starting from the age of 19. And it pleased the Almighty God to keep me up to this age, and in sound health. Accordingly, as long as, I live, I will continue to work for the good of this country, in any way, I find it possible. It is in that light, and in view of recent worrisome developments, that I am writing this letter to Mr. President on Democracy Day. The message herein, is a message of truth; encapsulating my thoughts, as well as, the feelings, dissentions, and remonstrations, of the people of the South South Geopolitical Zone, that I have been continuously inundated with. I have to state it, unequivocally, the way it is, for the sake of posterity, and in the interest of peace, unity, and progress of our dear country, Nigeria. And the truth, Mr. President, is that the South South Geopolitical Zone have not been treated fairly, by your administration, despite our contribution to the economy of the country. Let us call a spade, a spade! For reasons unknown to me, we have continued to witness discriminative, and unjust actions, against people of South South Extraction, under presidency, in the last five years.

  • Executive Summary
    Executive Summary The coronavirus pandemic is exacting significant political, economic and social costs all over the world and Nigeria is not an exception. A little under 11,000 Nigerians have been infected with a little over 3,200 recoveries and 319 deaths. Twenty states and the Federal Capital Territory instituted full or partial lockdowns as containment measures ramped up. While the country has brought online 81 isolation centres, testing has been the bane of the country’s response, with only 65,855 test samples taken since late February and whole regions unsupplied in terms of testing capacity, for example the Niger Delta and the North East have no testing facilities. Further compounding an already bleak situation, economic uncertainty has kicked in with growth slowing in the first quarter of the year and a recession all but inevitable. Yet in some ways, things do not appear to be changing. Nearly 68% of Nigerians surveyed by SBM Intelligence say that their normal work schedule will not be affected by the pandemic when anything resembling normality returns. This report will place in proper context, the multifarious political, social, health and economic implications of the pandemic, exploring the efforts of both the federal and state governments, identifying the spatial distribution of palliatives and examine both the government position on its pandemic management and the public perception of its efforts. Introduction Nigeria recorded her first coronavirus case on 27th February 2020--a case which involved an Italian expatriate in Lagos. In the short period of time that has followed since then, a lot of activities have taken place.

  • Good Governance in Nigeria: a Catalyst to National Peace, Stability and Development

However, ‘poverty of leadership’ in most of the Nigeria’s 57 years of existence has not only hindered the nation’s development, but continued to threaten its peace and stability. While it is widely believed that bad governance is prevalent in autocratic and oligarchic systems, it is evident now that bad governance does exist much more in democracies. Therefore, the study analysed the twin concepts of governance and good governance; assessed the nature of governance offered by the nation’s leaders; and its effects on the national peace and development. Using secondary data, the study revealed that, unethical practices, arbitrary rule and corruption which pervade public offices are products of bad governance. The study further revealed that, bad governance in Nigeria has brought about unemployment, poverty, crimes, internal violence, insurgents activities, diseases, loss of lives and Copyright © International Association of African Researchers and Reviewers, 2006-2017: www.afrrevjo.net.

  • Implications of the Release of Chibok Girls on Nigeria's War on Terrorism
    Covenant University Journal of Politics & Internationall Affairs. Vol. 5, No.1, June, 2017 An Open Access Journal - Available Online Implications of the Release of Chibok Girls on Nigeria’s War on Terrorism Olanrewaju Faith Osasumwen1; Olanrewaju Adekunle2, Loromeke Ejiroghene Roland3 & Joshua Segun4 1,2,3,4Department of Political Science and International Relations, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria [email protected]; [email protected] [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The year 2013 marked the emergence of the use of women and girls as hostages by the most dreaded Boko Haram terrorist group in Nigeria. The successful abduction of about 300 girls from the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok-Borno State, Nigeria, in the dead of the night boosted the effrontery of the sect to undertake more abduction of hundreds of girls and women even in broad day light in North-Eastern Nigeria. The abduction of the Chibok girls generated both national and international concerns and raised the recognition of the group‟s ruthlessness against women. Various attempts to rescue the Chibok girls by the Nigerian government, humanitarian agencies and the international community failed. Using qualitative descriptive analysis, the paper avows that the controversial release of 21 Chibok girls without battle conditions or reports leaves a lot to speculation. This event represents a symbolism of Boko Haram‟s ability to hold the Nigerian government to ransom at its own terms. It submits that the gradual release of the girls and the sect‟s proposal for the negotiation of 83 more girls raises questions on the terms of the negotiations leading to the release as well as queries the strength of Nigeria‟s anti-terrorism war.

  • Crise Et Développement La Région Du Lac Tchad À L’Épreuve De Boko Haram Crise Et Développement
    Crise et développement La région du lac Tchad à l’épreuve de Boko Haram Crise et développement À partir de 2009, l’insécurité liée à l’insurrection du groupe Boko Haram et à sa répression s’est diffusée depuis le cœur du Borno nigérian vers tout le nord-est du pays puis vers les zones frontalières des pays voisins, Cameroun, Niger et Tchad. La crise a affecté progressivement La région du lac Tchad toute la région du lac Tchad, un des grands espaces transfrontaliers de l’Afrique sahélienne, à la charnière de l’Afrique des savanes et du désert, de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et de l’Afrique à l’épreuve de Boko Haram centrale et orientale. Cette étude est la première à aborder la crise Boko Haram à partir d’une perspective transcendant les frontières politiques et linguistiques entre le Nigeria anglophone et les trois pays francophones riverains du lac Tchad. Réalisée par une équipe pluridisciplinaire d’une quinzaine de chercheurs français, britannique, camerounais, nigériens, nigérians et tchadiens, elle considère la région du lac Tchad comme un système. Ses composantes et leurs interactions environnementales, économiques et politiques sont appréhendées depuis une perspective diachronique avant, pendant et après le pic de violence. L’analyse débouche sur une réflexion prospective à 20 ans. À partir du constat que la crise a ébranlé le système de relations qui faisait la résilience de la région du lac Tchad, cette étude de référence vise à éclairer les choix cruciaux qui définiront sa trajectoire de développement à venir.
