MOTHERLAND BECKONS LAUNCHES DIASPORA NIGERIA ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND GROWTH PLAN (DNERGP).

Motherland Beckons on Monday 1st of May 2017 launched the Diaspora Nigeria Economic Recovery & Growth Plan- DNERGP at its headquarters La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort, Lekki, Lagos.
Diaspora Nigeria Economic Recovery & Growth Plan (DNERGP) is a tourism and creative arts initiative to revive the Nigeria economy and entrench it on the part of sustainable growth.
This was done at a quiet ceremony by a symbol joint proclamation by the president of Motherland Beckons, H.E. Otunba (DR.) Wanle Akinboboye and the Director General of Center of Black & African Arts &Civilisation (CBAAC), Sir Ferdinand Anikwe.
Otunba Akinboboye at the inauguration unveiled the leisure and entertainment plan and the business plan of the initiative under the former, Nigerians in Diaspora and their friends with an investment of one thousand dollars per individual would be entitled to three days and two nights of first class entertainment, dance, drama, poetry, authentic African music, cuisines and night clubbing. He express further that in recognition of the diversity of Nigeria, Motherland Beckons has created six destinations namely: Destination Abuja, Destination Cross River, Destination Kano/Kaduna; Destination Enugu and Destination South West.
A visiting Diasporan is entitled to see the best of Nigeria in each of these destinations to a hospitable welcome by the host communities in appreciation of the Diasporas and their friends. This he believes would result into additional spending of about #4,000 by each visitor since the average Diaspora spends between two and four weeks on yearly and periodic visits to Nigeria.

OtunbaWanleAkinboboye also disclosed that in his magnanimity, His Imperial Majesty Ooni Ile Ife has donated several hectares of land for the project for agriculture investment and other food productions.
However from a projection of about one million friends ‘’investors’’ in the first operational year, we believe a modest 10 percent of two million visitors i.e. 200,000 would be interested  in the business plan under auspices of the Motherland Beckons/MUSIAD signed in December, 2016.
MUSIAD is the largest business conglomerate in the world with about 55,000 businesses and 11,000 businessmen and CEOs in 175 locations spread around the world.
Nigerians in Diaspora who are found of complaining of not knowing what business to invest in at home now have the opportunity to become distributors and part owners of viable business vendors with good return in investment with Motherland Beckons/MUSIAD agreement.
Full blown production of products ranging from baby diapers, textiles, cars, machineries and spare parts, etc. would commence after an initial test run of about three years of marketing and familiarisation.
Hence, a minimum investment of $10,000 by each of the Diasporans would translate to an injection of $20 Billion into the Nigerian economy, resulting in prosperity and progress for the people.

Dr. Anikwe  in his remarks commended Otunba Akinboboye for his immensurable contribution to tourism, culture and creative arts in Nigeria and in Africaand described DNERGP as a quiet revolution and a concerted creative effort at looking for a simple solution to the economic recession in Nigeria. He proclaimed the endorsement of CBAAC on Diaspora Nigeria Economic Recovery & Growth Plan (DNERGP) and pledge to the work assiduously to the remarkable private sector initiative which he calls a win-win situation for the Diaporans and the great people of Nigeria.
