In a move widely hailed as a masterstroke of people-driven diplomacy, Hon. Okey-Joe Onuakalusi, Member of the House of Representatives, has returned to Nigeria after an eventful and productive diplomatic tour of the United Kingdom and the United States. The lawmaker, who represents Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II under the Labour Party, embarked on the high-level engagement to foster deeper democratic cooperation and explore avenues for economic collaboration between Nigeria and two of the world’s leading democracies.
The tour, which spanned several weeks, was marked by a series of high-impact meetings with key figures in legislative, academic, and civil society circles in both countries. Hon. Onuakalusi’s agenda was clear—strengthening Nigeria’s democratic institutions and expanding international partnerships that can yield economic dividends for his constituents and the country at large.
