Dr. Josef Onoh, the former campaign spokesman for President Bola Tinubu in the southeast, has described Nigeria’s recent bilateral agreement renewal with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a remarkable diplomatic achievement, which he attributes to President Tinubu’s pragmatic and diplomatic approach.
On Monday, the Nigerian President successfully brokered an international agreement with his UAE counterpart, Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, leading to the immediate lifting of the visa ban imposed on Nigerian travelers. The agreement also encompasses the prompt resumption of Etihad and Emirates flight services to and from Nigeria, along with various economic development diplomatic initiatives and proposals.
Reacting to these developments, Onoh asserted that these agreements are a testament to the promises President Tinubu made to Nigerians during his presidential campaigns, now materialized achievements that transcend ethnic boundaries and extend beyond the West African sub-region. He emphasized that the benefits of these agreements are not limited to Nigerians but also beneficial to the international community, highlighting the importance of even small diplomatic victories.
Onoh urged Nigerians not to underestimate President Tinubu’s international successes and emphasized the importance of being exemplary ambassadors by conducting themselves with utmost respect and adherence to the laws and regulations of host countries, just as they expect their own to be respected.
“This demonstrates the confidence that the UAE and the international community have in our President, and anyone who fails to appreciate and support our President is deluding themselves,” Onoh stated. “This is what we promised Nigerians in the renewed hope mandate, and it is proof that the renewed hope is not just a result of Jagaban’s magic but a collective effort to ensure that the magician continues to perform his magic by supporting his efforts.”
Onoh also noted that previous administrations were known for signing Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) without corresponding actions, whereas the UAE agreement is accompanied by proactive measures. He urged President Tinubu to prioritize strengthening Nigeria’s domestic policies to convince investors to translate their commitments into action, highlighting that domestic challenges like corruption and insecurity could undermine international successes. Genuine investors, he added, require a country with accountability and a commitment to the rule of law.
Furthermore, Onoh commended Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), the Minister for Aviation, for his role in delivering on the UAE agreement, hailing him as the first current Nigerian minister to accomplish such a feat. He expressed confidence that Keyamo’s colleagues in the government would exhibit similar determination to deliver on the renewed hope mandate, as Keyamo did with the support of President Tinubu.

The governor made the statement at the Government House in Umuahia during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development of the Aba Commercial Smart City, a project expected to create about 125,000 jobs.
Represented by his Chief of Staff, Caleb Ajagba, Otti said the project would transform Aba and the wider Abia State into a major industrial hub, fostering sustainable economic growth and large-scale job creation upon completion.
He emphasized that his administration prioritises the creation of quality employment over handouts, noting that meaningful jobs remain the most effective way to empower youths and citizens.
The governor also called for sustained public-private sector collaboration in the state’s development, citing the recent achievement of 90 days of uninterrupted power supply in Aba as a product of effective partnership between the government and private investors.
Speaking on the project, the Manager of Technical Services for Aba Commercial Smart City, Mr. David Okoro, disclosed that the development would occupy 140 hectares of land in Osisioma and generate 25,000 direct jobs and 100,000 indirect jobs for residents of Abia State.

Speaking at a matriculation ceremony held within the correctional facility on Friday, the Provost of the College, Dr. Mary Bamgbose, formally welcomed the inmates into the 2025/2026 academic session and urged them to maintain good conduct.
She described the inmates as reformed and expressed confidence that they could become positive representatives of the institution after regaining their freedom.
“Today, 10 inmates who have been corrected and reformed are being matriculated into Yewa Central College of Education. As you begin this journey on February 6, 2026, I urge you to conduct yourselves properly,” Bamgbose said.
“As God is showing you mercy through this opportunity, I believe you can one day serve as good ambassadors of our college outside this system,” she added.
Speaking on behalf of the new students, Peter Adike expressed gratitude and pledged that, despite their incarceration, they are determined to make the opportunity count.
However, he noted that they still face challenges accessing essential learning resources such as teachers, textbooks, and classroom furniture.
