BIAFRA LATEST: Jublition In Entire Biafra Land As, Former CBN Governor, Charles Soludo, Emerges As Economic Minister Of Biafra Nation [Must Read].

The former Central Bank Governor, CBN, Charles Soludo, has been appointed to head the 100-man Economic Team of the Biafra nation, by Ohaneze Ndi-Igbo.

The apex Socio-Political organisation, mandated the Team to design both the economic and political development agenda for Ndigbo.

According to Ohanaeze, the Soludo Committee was also expected to come up with the best strategy that would enable the South-East zone become self-reliant, in view of the alleged marginalisation of the zone.

The Ohaneze inaugurated the Committee at the Nike Lake Resort Hotel, Enugu, and however, urged the Committee to articulate and formulate sound strategic economic and political policies for Ndigbo, adding that, the recommendations of the Committee would be used by the Ohanaeze Secretariat, to formulate integrative economic programmes for the respective States within the zone, in collaboration with the South-East Governors, as well as Governors of Rivers and Delta States .

Speaking on behalf of the Committee, Soludo said it was time for Ndigbo to take their destiny in their hands, as the region had become an emerging global tribe, with huge population density of about 1,351 persons per sqkm, and the largest concentration of human and material resources in Africa.

“As an emerging global tribe, we must learn a new language of global business diplomacy and good neighbourliness. As the saying goes, to change your world, change your word! We need to change the conversation; we need to change the narrative!

“New bridges must be built, and a new politics needs to evolve. Public service in Igboland must take a new face and a new meaning. Our leadership recruitment process needs rethinking. The language on marginalisation also needs interrogation: is it about political appointments/offices, or about economic empowerment through private enterprise, and the interactions between the two?”

Other members of the Committee include: Prof. Barth Nnaji, Prof. Mark Anikpo, Prof. Eugene Nweke, Prof. Osita Ogbu, Ambassador Frank Ogbuewu, Dr. Olisa Agbokoba (SAN), Prof. Hilary Edoga, Ambassador Alex Nwofe, Prof. Joy Ezeilo, Mr. Mike Chukwu, and Dr. Adline Idike, among others.
