The Canadian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Philip Baker, on Monday, January 15, told President Muhammadu Buhari that over 11,000 Nigerians study in Canada with many of them residing there.

Legit.ng gathered that Baker who was at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to present his Letter of Credence to President Buhari said the majority of the students eventually returned home to help build the country.

The statement added that Buhari warned that “the about 40 million population in the region will pose adverse migration and security challenges to the world” if the lake dried up completely.

The President pointed out that banditry, illegal migration and terrorism would worsen if the lake was not rescued.

He said: “An academic rightly predicted that except there was a redirection of water to Lake Chad, it would dry up.

“Now, whenever I go for any global meeting or visit a country, I will always draw the world’s attention to the adverse effect of climate change on the lake, and the resulting negative effects.”

He appealed to the Canadian government to support the current efforts to divert water from the Congo River to the lake.

Legit.ng previously reported that The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has said the current partnerships between Nigeria and Britain would be enhanced if he is voted into office in in the forthcoming elections.

The former vice president, who said this in an article he wrote for the UK Sunday Express, noted that the incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari, has failed to strengthen the relationship between Nigeria and its former colonial master.

The article which was published on Sunday, January 13, and a copy was sent to the Premium Times, outlined Abubakar’s plans to invigorate the economic and cultural links between the two nations.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
