President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday urged the United States to reconsider relocating US Africa Command (AFRICOM) from Stuttgart, Germany, to Africa, nearer the Theatre of Operation, admonishing the international community to support Nigeria and the sub-region in tackling growing security challenges to avoid spillovers.
President Buhari, in a virtual meeting with the US Secretary of State, Mr. Anthony Blinken, said AFRICOM, which partners with countries to counter transnational threats, should be relocated to Africa to strengthen ongoing efforts to check the security situation, with likely effect on other nations.
“The security challenges in Nigeria remain of great concern to us and impacted more negatively, by existing complex negative pressures in the Sahel, Central and West Africa, as well as the Lake Chad Region.
“Compounded as the situation remains, Nigeria and her security forces remain resolutely committed to containing them and addressing their root causes. The support of important and strategic partners like United States cannot be overstated as the consequences of insecurity will affect all nations hence the imperative for concerted cooperation and collaboration of all nations to overcome these challenges.
“In this connection, and considering the growing security challenges in West and Central Africa, Gulf of Guinea, Lake Chad region and the Sahel, weighing heavily on Africa, it underscores the need for the United States to consider re-locating AFRICOM Headquarters from Stuttgart, Germany to Africa and near the Theatre of Operation,’’ he said.
The President said Nigeria will enhance collaborations in all forms, with friends and strategic partners, to work together for greater security for all, which remain the most significant condition for overcoming the existential challenges.
President Buhari congratulated Blinken on his appointment by President Joe Biden, and commended the United States for the decision to repeal the immigration restriction known as the “Muslim ban’’, re-joining the World Health Organization (WHO) and Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
“Nigeria attaches great importance to its relations with the United States. Let me in this connection express appreciation to President Joe Biden for his welcome and reaching decision to repeal the Immigration restriction known as the ‘Muslim ban’ on travel and visas for citizens predominantly from Muslim Nations and African Countries, including Nigeria.
“I also wish to congratulate the United States for re-joining the World Health Organization (WHO) and Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The leadership of the United States in these two organizations is crucial for international community.
“This action is a demonstration of the United States commitment in championing and supporting international organizations with the aim to build a better world for all,’’ he added.
President Buhari noted that Nigeria remains resolute in her commitment to supporting global efforts as enshrined in the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which seeks to limit global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
According to the President, the convening of the Climate Change Summit last week by President Biden was a strong indication of the renewed interest of the United States to the Paris Agreement.
“I would like to extend our goodwill message to President Joe Biden and his Administration. May I also thank you for initiating this meeting, which I am confident, given your background and current position, you will use to promote the existing bilateral relations between our two countries,’’ the President said.
The Secretary of State said he was pleased to make Nigeria part of his “first virtual visit to Africa,” noting that Nigeria and the United States of America, share a lot in bilateral issues.
He added that he would be delighted to build on the foundation that was laid between the two countries over 60 years ago, disclosing that areas of discussion with Nigeria would include “how to build our economies back after the COVID-19 pandemic, security for vulnerable communities, and climate issues.”

De acordo com uma nota à imprensa do Gabinete do ministro das Finanças enviada hoje à ANG, a execução do referido programa será avaliada entre Setembro e Dezembro do ano em curso e se for satisfatória, a Guiné-Bissau passará a beneficiar de um Programa de Facilidade de Crédito Alargado que normalmente é suportado financeiramente pelo FMI.
A nota informa que a referida missão do FMI analisará ainda com autoridades nacionais a evolução económica e financeira recente da Guiné-Bissau, com particular destaque sobre a gestão das finanças públicas, execução orçamental do ano económico 2020 e as previsões da execução do primeiro trimestre do ano 2021.
A última avaliação do FMI à Guiné-Bissau foi em Abril 2018, período após o qual o Fundo suspendeu o seu programa de ajuda financeira ao país.
De acordo com a nota, o FMI desembolsou em finais de janeiro do ano em curso, um financiamento no valor de 20 milhões de dólares à Guiné-Bissau para fazer face as consequências da pandemia da Covid-19.
Para o ano em curso, segundo a nota, a Guiné-Bissau prevé um crescimento do seu Produto Interno Bruto(PIB), na ordem de 4,7 por cento.
Sob proposta do governo liderado por Nuno Nabiam, a presidência anunciou no último sábado a primeira remodelação governamental.
Vários membros do executivo foram substituídos.
Why are a lot of Nigerians so extroverted, fun, and friendly compared to other countries?
If they say Nigerians are among the happiest people on earth I don't think we will argue. An average Nigerian mentality is just cruise. People that make fun of their own Misery's. Humor is a gift you get for being a Nigerian, slightly higher than the line for insanity. I won't be wrong if I say it's our coping mechanism. Fun is a way we know how to keep on pushing and a way to look beyond our imperfect country. With how our country is if we don't laugh at life we will go mad.
Who turns a protest into a party? Nigerians
Who replies with ffb on their president’s post on Twitter? Nigerians
Who creates happiness out of nothing? Nigerians
Who turns every situation into a comedy? Nigerians.
Nigerians use banter and humor to hide how fucked we all are in this country.
Nigerians are warm, friendly, kind, fun, witty and merry. Despite all the troubles, all our pains. We are sensitive to all the Issues we have and our heart silently scream in pain. Yet we still force a smile and make jokes out of everything.
If only we have good leaders, Nigeria would have become the best place on earth
