 Bianca Ojukwu | Leadership June 6, 2013 Amb Bianca Ojukwu. , Nigeria's envoy to Spain, has rued the increasing number of Nigerians who got drowned trying to cross the ocean to Spain for greener pastures. Ojukwu said this on Wednesday at a colloquium on "The State of the Nation : The Way Forward,'' organised by the Campaign for Democracy, South-East region, in Onitsha, Anambra. She expressed regrets that many Nigerians, especially from the South-East, struggled to enter the European nation but had no understanding that it was not better off than Nigeria. "As an ambassador to Spain you come face to face with the trouble people are going through". I am sad that because things are not going on well in Nigeria the way they should people now board ships to Spain and on their way get drowned,'' she said. Ojukwu, however, urged both the Federal and state governments to create the enabling environment to help curtail the rush to travel abroad. |
