Yesterday, at the invitation of The Liverpool Commonwealth Association, I had the honour of serving as the guest speaker at Liverpool John Moores University, where I spoke on the topic "Harnessing the Commonwealth Advantage for Trade and Investment." Attendance included Mr. Mark Blundell, Lord-Lieutenant of Merseyside and representative of King Charles in Liverpool, Richard Kemp, Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Tim Nicholl, Vice-Pro Chancellor of LJMU Business School, Garth Dallas, Chair of the Liverpool Commonwealth Association, Cllr Vanessa Boateng JP, General Secretary of the Liverpool Commonwealth Association among others. With a population of over 2.5 billion—about a third of the world's population, with over 60% of its population under the age of 30, a GDP of over $13 trillion, expected to grow to $20 trillion by 2030 the Commonwealth presents great opportunities for growth and development amongst member nations if properly harnessed. The focus must, therefore, remain on leveraging these immense resources, especially the youthful energy and innovation for the collective advancement, sustainable development, and economic prosperity of member states and their citizens. As members of the Commonwealth, we are uniquely positioned to promote inclusive growth, foster innovation, and champion sustainable development. By lowering barriers to trade, encouraging investment, and deepening cooperation, we can transform our economies, ensuring that the prosperity of one nation lifts many others. For us in Nigeria, whose trade contributions to the Commonwealth—and indeed the world—have remained dismally low due to the lack of productivity plaguing the nation, this is a wake-up call. We must clothe our nation in the garment of productivity and set the wheels of production in motion. By aggressively investing in agriculture, supporting micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises through favourable fiscal and monetary policies, and ensuring strict adherence to the rule of law, which will attract and retain both foreign and local investors, we can shift Nigeria from a consumption-driven economy to a production-led one, and take our rightful place as a significant contributor to the Commonwealth’s economic power. A new Nigeria is POssible! -PO

Ambassador Nzewuji welcomed his successor and wished him a successful tenure. He thanked home-based officers, the permanent staff, and the Nigerian community for making his tour of duty remarkable.

Home-based officers and the permanent staff at the Mission spoke about Amb. Obioma Nzewuji's cordial working relationship and wished him .

At a heartfelt farewell in honour of Amb. Nzewuji, Amb. Zanna-Kawu praised the sterling qualities of his predecessor & his contributions to the Mission, following the end of the tour of the former High Commissioner, Amb. Adeyinka Asekun.

A new Charge d' Affaires Ambassador Abba Zanna-Kawu has seamlessly taken over in Canada, ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the continuity of the Mission's activities following the end of Ambassador Obioma Nzewuji's tour of duty in Canada

@sulolaore Attempt tracking next week. It should get to your address. It is currently in the documentation unit

@EleziePatricia You must have an appointment date before coming to Ottawa. If your appointment booking for October 14 is still intact, yes, you can come on October 15. But if you cancelled, it means you do not have a date?

@NigHighCommCan I’m booked 4 capture on Monday, Oct. 14, 2024, but it's a public holiday. I may hv accidentally canceled the appointment while checking for an alternate date and need confirmation on if I can still proceed, as I’ve prepared for Tue, Oct. 15, 2024. Please advise.

THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY!
