He further informed that, Finland and Nigeria diplomatic ties can further be enhanced through increased trade and economic collaborations, saying that his government is committed to ensuring that more high level visits and meetings are carried out between Nigeria and Finland businesses and people so as to create greater momentum.How did your diplomatic career start?
After my South African experience, it was very natural for me to join the Ministry for Foreign Affairs as they offered me a senior adviser position on ICT for Development in 2004. This was the game changer in my career and since then I have been focusing on global development issues related to ICT, innovation and information society, among other things.
Thirdly, at the diplomatic level, we could have more high-level visits and meetings as these create a momentum and give prestige for our businesses and people to work together. Last but not the least; we also have globally recognized peace meditation expertise that could be used in local conflicts for the benefit of all Nigerians.When I joined to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in 2004, I started to work with the World Summit for Information Society, WSIS.
This kind of patriotism can also be used against foreigners who live in the country, and for closing the borders of the country from foreigners. I think this kind of patriotism is leading countries to isolation and stagnation and hinders exchange with the rest of the world. Finally, it can lead the country to war, especially if we consider the outside world as alien and perhaps as a threat for our beloved country.
In fact, many of the lessons we learned on the course of developing our own systems could serve Nigeria right now when Nigeria is planning to invest in education and health services. I know that there are many Finnish education service providers and consultants that are eager to do business with Nigerians. Some of them have already had a good head start in Nigeria while others are still struggling to find suitable local partners.
It may be quite well-known in Nigeria that Finnish education is of high quality and that Finland is the ‘happiest country in the world’, contributing ‘common good to the the globe more than any other country in the world’ according to latest international studies. Yet, Finnish culture, including our sauna tradition, world-class design or Finnish cuisine, remains relatively unknown in Nigeria.
