Dateline: AbaSamuel Prison, Ethiopia
...the exhilarating moment when I visited the AbaSamuel Prisons, Addis Ababa to break the news to our boys that they will soon be returning home for service of the remainder of their prison terms as a result of the Prisoner Transfer Agreement Nigeria has just signed with the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Renewed Joy; Renewed Hope.
We have already lost four of the Inmates, and several others are critically ill and need better care and medical assistance.
This Prisoner Transfer Agreement with the Government of Ethiopia is a landmark. Under the Citizen Diplomacy imperative of the Renewed Hope Agenda, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, remains committed to the welfare and protection of Nigerian Citizens abroad.
We will continue to work actively to ensure that our nationals abroad feel the full weight of their Home Government.
