Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Israel, His Excellency Enoch Pear Duchi, has said the Embassy was ready to bring young Nigerians to the European nation to be trained on cyber-security, agricultural techniques and other areas of human endeavours for their growth.

He also assured that the Embassy could facilitate bringing some Israeli expatriates to Nigeria to train its youth in various fields of human endeavours once such request was sought.

The Nigerian envoy also sang praises of the Esther Ajayi Foundation for its commitment to the goals and ideals that Nigeria stands for in the comity of nations.

Amb. Duchi said this on Tuesday, while receiving about 200 Nigerians on pilgrimage in the Holy Land.

The pilgrims were sponsored on the trip by Founder of the Love of Christ Generation C&S London, Rev. Mother Esther Abimbola Ajayi.

Amb. Duchi showered encomiums in Rev. Mother Esther Ajayi for the various financial and spiritual support she had commuted to some projects in Nigeria and particularly in Israel.

Describing Rev. Mother Ajayi as a ‘woman of immeasurable love for work of God and support for humanity’ also commended her for the great works she has been doing especially in Israel.

Responding to a question posed to him by one of the pilgrims regarding the possibility of training Nigerians on various skills in the country, the envoy, however, said he would not be part of a situation where those so brought for such trainings abscond once they get to Israel.

Said he, “The Embassy has been and is still ready to organise with interested Israeli organisations to bring in some Nigerian youth to be trained in areas like cyber-security, Agriculture and other sectors, but we will not want a situation where some people will not return home,” Ambassador Duchi said.

The Nigerian envoy, when asked on the current state of Nigeria-Israeli relation, especially the position of the Federal Government to the issue of Jerusalem, maintained that the Nigerian Government stands by the United Nations position on the matter which can be resolved after the resolution of the two-state position of the country.

In her comment, Rev. Mother Ajayi, who was flanked by her husband, Rev. Apostle Ademuyiwa Ajayi, commended the Nigerian envoy for always supporting the Esther Ajayi Foundation any time the Foundation came to Israel on pilgrimage.

Rev. Mother Ajayi, who is currently in Israel with other 180 people drawn from Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria for pilgrimage, boasted that her Foundation had not recorded any desertion of pilgrims since it has been bringing people to the Holy Land.

Frontline journalist and Director of Strategic Communications of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Council in the just concluded Presidential election, Chief Dele Momodu, had said that he remains a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and will always stand on the side of rule of law, and with the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Momodu made the revelations in a statement he signed himself, noting that the last election, which brought Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to power, was savagely manipulated by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He praised the steps Atiku, and the presidential candidate of the Labour candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, have taken in seeking legal redress.

The statement in details:

I STAND ON RULE OF LAW

My position on the state of our country NIGERIA is simple and straightforward. I’m a loyal member of PDP who owes absolute allegiance to Nigeria and its Rule of Law. My political party PDP and others passionately hold the view that the last Presidential election was savagely manipulated by the ruling party APC and the cases are already in courts. Nothing will make me abandon my party on the altar of convenience and profit. Win or lose, I will continue to stand on this principle without any malice or prejudice against those who think otherwise. Democracy is a game of choice and I’m resolutely standing by our candidate, the former Vice President ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR (GCON) who has taken the honorable and peaceful step of going to court to seek redress. This is the only way we can deepen our hard earned Democracy. Sacrifice is not always convenient but painful.

I salute and respect The Wazirin Adamawa and others like my dear friend and Brother, former Governor Peter Obi, the Labor Party Presidential candidate, for promoting the best tenets of Democracy in Nigeria and I’m willing to encourage them rather than discourage their onerous quests…

In the first policy directive of his administration, President Bola Tinubu has announced the removal of fuel subsidy.

He disclosed this on Monday in his inaugural speech as the new President of Nigeria.

According to him, subsidy can no longer justify its ever increasing costs in the wake of drying resources.

“We shall instead re-channel the funds into better investment in public infrastructure, education, healthcare and jobs that will materially improve the lives of millions,” Tinubu stated.
