Nigerian government and those in authority have been advised to put favourable policies and laws in place that will encourage citizens abroad to come home and invest in the country.
Engineer Victor Eshiemokhai, the Chief Executive Officer of Vonos Motors Nigeria Company, Kubwa, made the appeal in Abuja during an exclusive interview to commemorate his child and house dedication ceremony.
He said Nigerians abroad are willing and ready to invest in the country, but for the poor infrastructural facilities and inadequate social amenities.
“Many Nigerians are willing to come back and invest, by the way, the richness of a country depends on the population and the labour of youths, when the youths are handicapped, you continue to be poor as a country, so empower the youths.”
Engineer Eshiemokhai, who is a Project Management consultant, urged the youths to be determined and focused to achieve their set goals and aspirations in life.
“Every person has a story to tell from the beginning, I was not born into a silver spoon family or born into a rich family, it’s all about determination in life and dedication on what you want to do and be focussed”
“Today, I am able to employ ten Nigerians and still going to employ more because we are setting up a standard Auto mechanic shop, fully computerised at a cheaper rate.”
He added that currently the company is selling cars to satisfy its customers, noting that 80% of cars imported into Nigeria are used cars popularly known as “Tokunbo”.
Engineer Victor Eshiemokhai, also advised politicians to stop using the youths for thuggery and crime, but empowering them to contribute to the nation’s economic growth.
He admonished politicians not to take the nation’s money out of the country, but invest in the country to create employment.
