Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Tinubu has implored African leaders to make more strategic and deliberate efforts in addressing the exodus of skills and talents from Africa.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a dinner held in his honour at the People\u2019s Palace in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, on Wednesday night, President Tinubu said research and development must be encouraged with the provision of appropriate rewards.<\/p>\n

The president said: \u201cWhy are we complaining about healthcare problems if our doctors cannot have a home in our continent? If our nurses are faced with destitution, and if our judicial system is archaic?\u201d<\/p>\n

President Tinubu, who is on a three-day official visit, said development in Africa will begin when the continent starts to look inwards for solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cTribalism has no place in our nation or region. We have to strengthen the continent. Cultivate and maintain peace together and help one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to develop our resources for our progress. Find solutions among ourselves and focus incisively on research and development, and reward those research and development programmes. We must bring out the results ourselves. We must not outsource them or sell them out.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the international organizations, we are partners. We will continue to be partners, but we must implement more than half of the results of the research established here. We have many youths to take care of. Millions yearning for progress,\u2019\u2019 the President said.<\/p>\n

President Tinubu thanked President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo for the invitation to visit Malabo.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a joy coming down here from Abuja, and for me, it is a homecoming. We are one single family on the continent. We are like twins held together at the hips. We have nowhere to go, but to cling to each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur gathering here is a significant milestone in the history of Africa, particularly for West and Central Africa; between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. I am happy to hear very deep thoughts coming from my brother, the President of Equatorial Guinea, concerning Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica must solve its own problems. For the world, Africa is wretched and ragged, full of conflicts. We say no. Peace, stability, and democracy are the way forward for our collective and progressive development. We have agreed on that with President Mbasogo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe definitely will continue to promote peace and stability throughout the continent. Some of our other brothers in shackles are still there, at each other\u2019s throats. We will both work together and do whatever is possible to promote peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we are seeing in certain parts of the continent and areas of the Sahel is not pleasant for our today and not promising for our tomorrow. We have to work together to make peace the focus of our development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout peace, we cannot have development. Our problem is not that we do not understand what to do. We identify them, and we understand what to do. Our problem is how and when we should do them. I say the time is now. We had better roll up our sleeves, put on our knickers, and move strongly for the peace and stability of our continent,\u201d the President stated.<\/p>\n

In his remarks earlier, the President of Equatorial Guinea thanked President Tinubu for honouring his invitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with utmost affection and respect that I would like to greet President Tinubu and wish him and his delegation a warm welcome to Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to express our gratitude for your acceptance of our invitation. We feel honoured to host this meeting that brings us together in Malabo,\u2019\u2019 President Mbasogo said.<\/p>\n

The leader of Equatorial Guinea called for more collaboration and solidarity between both countries, stating that \u201cNigeria has always held a special place in our foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Mbasogo said the momentum and dynamism in the bilateral relations should be strengthened while highlighting previous mutual agreements in the areas of education, mining, defence, security, and agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize Nigeria\u2019s potential and experience as the largest economy in Africa since 2015, and we consider it as one of the great global emerging markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President, this visit is an opportunity to further strengthen our historical relationship to be much greater,\u2019\u2019 the Equatorial Guinean President said.<\/p>\n

President Mbasogo said deeper partnership is needed between both countries to fight piracy and insecurity while working with other countries of the African Union and the United Nations in tackling climate change, food shortages, and terrorism.<\/p>\n

Before the dinner, President Tinubu and President Mbasogo signed an agreement on the Gulf of Guinea Gas Pipeline Project.<\/p>\n
