US assistant secretary of state for education to visit Nigeria March 17



Lee Satterfield, US assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs, will visit Nigeria between March 17 and 22.

 

A statement on Friday said Satterfield would visit Lagos and the federal capital territory where she would hold “key bilateral” talks.

 

The assistant secretary is seeking to expand access to education and “bolstering economic opportunities through the creative arts”.

 

“Assistant Secretary Satterfield’s trip to Nigeria builds on a recent visit by Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and reinforces the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to Africa by focusing on people-to-people connections between Americans and Nigerians,” a statement on the visit reads.

 

In January, Blinken, US secretary of state, paid an official visit to Nigeria.

 

Blinken said American entrepreneurs and companies are ready to invest in the Nigerian economy.

 

“We have tech giants that have teamed up with their Nigerian counterparts to help meet President Tinubu’s one million digital jobs initiative,” he had said.

 

 “Our tech incubators are fostering Nigeria’s next startups.

 

“Our venture capital companies are working to finance, so we want to work in partnership to help drive Nigeria’s technological revolution, which is creating jobs, growing businesses, and springing innovations in both of our countries.”

  1. Now that America have huge problems, he now wants to enter into tech relationships with Nigeria. America has failed the world woo fully in managing his relationship with other countries. He has no respect for human being but rather than where there’s his interest. Nigeria should not allowed the US to derail him from focusing on joining the BRICS. The country will be more prosperous if Nigeria trades in Naira with his partners and not in dollars. Countries using dollars to trade are indirectly helping the US pays his internal debts, and since the creation of BRICS, the dollar has lost its value in the International market but gaining momentum in Nigeria because , the currency is more difficult to get due of internal financial mechanisms which I can say boils down to corruption in our banking sector. After all, petrodollars no longer exists as Gulf States has abandoned selling their oil in dollars. This’s exactly what Nigeria must do in order to sanitise his financial and forex market and bring the dollar to an equal rate in Naira at 1- 1
