NCPC urges Israel to invest in Nigeria

Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Rev.
Tor Uja, has called on the Israeli government to “invest massively in Nigeria.” He made the call recently in Abuja during a send-forth luncheon organised by the Israeli Embassy in Nigeria for the outgoing Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr.
Guy Feldman.
Uja charged the Israeli government to seek to “invest massively in the economy of Nigeria as a way of boosting the robust bilateral relationships between both countries.” The NCPC boss specifically urged the Israeli government to “seek the need to invest expensively in such important critical areas as agriculture, technology, education and grants for technological development.” He noted that “such deliberate strategy on investments in Nigeria would help to further strengthen the existing relationship between Israel and Nigeria.” Uja also called on Israel to “seek to understand Nigeria better and her dialectics and operate in Nigeria with the perspectives of international diplomacy and not from their own history and perspectives.” The NCPC boss further charged Israel to develop a more fundamental relationship with the Church in Nigeria.
“Israel should develop a more fundamental relationship with the Church in Nigeria,” he said, adding that Israel “should as a matter of diplomacy engage the Nigerian Church more as the Church in Nigeria believes so much in Israel.” According to him, “Israel for the sake of diplomacy should strengthen its relationship with the Nigerian Church.” Uja thanked the outgoing envoy for “believing in Nigeria” and for “speaking so positively about Nigeria,” and wished him well in his future endeavours.
