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.
