The 28th edition of Diaspora Watch Newspaper, your premier source for stories and developments impacting the African Diaspora globally, is here with an issue brimming with pivotal stories, insights, and analysis. In this edition, we celebrate historic milestones, dive deep into critical geopolitical matters, and explore the complexities shaping the African and global landscape today.

In a groundbreaking development, Ghana has witnessed history with the election of Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the first female Vice President-elect of the country. Her victory marks a new chapter in Ghana’s political evolution, setting an inspiring precedent for women in leadership across Africa. Furthermore, Former President Mahama triumphs in a historic political comeback, defeating the incumbent Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia in a highly contested presidential election over the weekend, signaling new dynamics in Ghana’s political arena.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has set the stage for a controversial four-year term, with plans to deport all undocumented immigrants. In an exclusive interview, Trump outlined his vision for a national crackdown on illegal immigration, further igniting the ongoing debate over America’s immigration policies.

In Europe, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made a rare admission regarding the staggering loss of life in the ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelensky reports 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed, while also revealing the immense toll on Russian forces, with 198,000 dead and 550,000 wounded. This grim update highlights the devastating human cost of the war.

Diaspora Watch also critically examines the recent surge in foreign visits to Africa. Is this a new era of international cooperation, or a strategic maneuver for global powers? Our in-depth analysis provides key insights into the diplomatic shifts taking place on the continent.

In the UK, 300,000 new visas have been granted to Nigerians in recent years, with British High Commissioner Richard Montgomery praising the significant contributions of Nigerians to the UK. This development sheds light on the evolving relationship between the two nations amid debates over immigration policies.

We also explore the failure of ECOWAS to foster regional cohesion and connectivity, more than 50 years after its creation, and discuss the implications of a US court decision that could potentially pave the way for a ban on TikTok, leaving over 170 million users in uncertainty.

This issue also shines a spotlight on Houston-based Marion Agbata, who graces our Diva Page, sharing her inspiring journey and achievements.

Gov. Soludo Engages With Ndi Anambra in the US, Highlights Three Years of Transformative Leadership

In a bid to showcase his administration’s achievements and challenges, Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, recently engaged with Ndi Anambra in the United States.

The town hall meeting, held at the Metro Point Hotel in New Carrollton, Maryland, drew members of the Anambra diaspora from across the US.

The event was attended by Nigeria’s Embassy Charge d’Affaires in Washington, DC, Ambassador Samson Itegboje, and Governor Soludo’s Chief of Staff, Mr. Ernest Ezeajughi.

During the meeting, Governor Soludo offered a candid account of his administration’s achievements and challenges, emphasizing transparency, participatory governance, and sustainable development.

He detailed key milestones in infrastructure, education reform, economic empowerment, and security, while inviting feedback and urging the diaspora to contribute expertise and resources to Anambra’s growth.

One of the key areas of focus for the Soludo administration has been infrastructure development.

The Governor has emphasized the importance of building modern infrastructure to support the state’s economic growth and improve the quality of life for its citizens.

Some notable infrastructure projects completed or ongoing during his administration include:

– The rehabilitation of major roads, including the Awka-Onitsha Expressway and the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway

– The construction of new roads, bridges, and culverts to improve connectivity and facilitate economic activity

– The upgrade of the state’s airport and other transportation infrastructure

These infrastructure projects have not only improved the state’s transportation network but also created jobs and stimulated economic growth.

– The introduction of new curricula and teaching methods to enhance the quality of education

– The provision of scholarships and other forms of support to deserving students

– The upgrade of school infrastructure, including classrooms, libraries, and laboratories

These initiatives have not only improved the quality of education in Anambra State but also increased access to education for all, particularly in rural areas.

The Soludo administration has also launched several initiatives aimed at promoting economic empowerment and entrepreneurship in Anambra State. Some notable initiatives include:

– The provision of microfinance loans and other forms of support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

– The establishment of business incubation centers to support start-ups and entrepreneurs

– The promotion of agriculture and other key sectors to drive economic growth

These initiatives have not only created jobs and stimulated economic growth but also empowered citizens to take charge of their economic destiny.

The Soludo administration has also prioritized security, recognizing its importance in creating a conducive environment for economic growth and development. Some notable initiatives include:

– The deployment of additional security personnel to hotspots and other areas of concern

– The upgrade of security infrastructure, including surveillance cameras and other technology

– The promotion of community policing and other forms of partnership with security agencies

These initiatives have not only improved security in Anambra State but also enhanced the safety and well-being of citizens.

The town hall meeting in the US is part of the Soludo administration’s efforts to engage with the diaspora community and promote collaboration and investment in Anambra State.

The Governor has recognized the essential role that the diaspora plays in the state’s development, calling for increased partnership and knowledge transfer.

“We believe that Anambra belongs to all of us, and our progress depends on the collective efforts of our people, at home and abroad,” Soludo stated.

“We urge the diaspora to contribute their expertise and resources to Anambra’s growth, and we are committed to creating an enabling environment for investment and development.”

Diaspora Watch reports that the meeting provided a platform for the diaspora to interact with the Governor, share their concerns, and contribute to the state’s development.

As Anambra State looks to the future, it is clear that the collective efforts of its people, at home and abroad, will be critical to its progress and prosperity.

The Soludo administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, education reform, economic empowerment, and security has laid a solid foundation for growth and development.
