Nigeria Ambassador to Spain, Bianca Ojukwu, yesterday, in Onitsha,
Anambra State revealed that many Nigerians got drowned in the
ocean in a bid to cross over to Spain in search of greener pastures.
Disclosing this at a special interactive session/launching of almanac
of the South East zonal chapter of the Campaign for Democracy, CD,
Bianca regretted that the country they were struggling to get into was
not better off than Nigeria, adding that on managing to get there they
became jobless.
According to her, “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, they get
drowned.”
Regretting that it was hardship and suffering that made them to leave
the country, she urged the state and Federal Governments to create
enabling environment to help curtail the rush abroad.
On the bilateral relationship between Nigeria and Spain, Bianca
stated that it has been very cordial, adding: “Nigeria has signed a lot
of memorands of understanding, MoU, with Spain on various areas,
cultural cooperation, education as well as transportation and
infrastructures.” She commended Dr. Okei-Odumakin, National President of CD, for her
role in activism, saying she has made Nigeria proud, nationally and
internationally.
