Nigeria High Commission In UK Removes Goodluck Jonathan’s Statements

Nigeria High Commission In UK Removes Goodluck Jonathan’s StatementsThe Nigeria High Commission in the United Kingdom has removed statements and policies related to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration from its website. Jonathan, who left office in 2015 after losing to Muhammadu Buhari, had previously seen his administration’s policies remain visible on the website despite the subsequent transitions to Buhari’s and now President Bola Tinubu’s governments.

Recently, reports highlighted that the High Commission’s website still featured outdated information from Jonathan’s era, even after President Tinubu assumed office in 2023. Additionally, despite the adoption of the new national anthem, Nigeria, We Hail Thee, in May 2024, the old anthem, Arise O Compatriots, continued to appear on the site.

Daily Trust reported that as of October 4, 2024, Tinubu’s policy statements were notably absent from the website, despite his multiple visits to the UK. However, following media attention, the commission has begun updating the site, with Jonathan’s policy statements removed and an “update in progress” notice now appearing in sections like Economy Overview, Labour Market, Agriculture, and Mining.

Dr. Bola Akintehinwa, a former Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), expressed frustration over the outdated information on the site, arguing that it negatively impacts Nigeria’s global reputation. He emphasized the importance of maintaining updated and accurate information to attract investors and improve the nation’s image abroad. Akintehinwa warned that failing to keep such resources current portrays Nigeria as technologically behind and undermines the country’s potential in the global market.
