While calling on the Federal Government to establish a Deportation Task Force to check the development, Oyinloye said it was vital to establish a road map to accommodate Diaspora returnees, so that their skills would be added value to the country’s prosperity, instead of becoming a liability. Meanwhile, Federal Government has revealed plans to engage German Government through its foundation, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), to institutionalise the capacity-building training and skills development programme for Special Advisors and Technical Assistants of the Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Prince Clem Ikanade Agba disclosed this on Friday in Abuja at the closing of a series of seven seminars on good governance for the Special Advisors and Technical Assistants. The Resident Representative of KAS, Dr. Vladimir Kreck, said inter-ministerial approaches would be necessary for Nigeria to overcome the challenges caused by COVID-19 pandemic. He said no one ministry would be able to solve the various problems in Nigeria, as many of the issues Nigeria is facing are interconnected.
