Da-Amakiri Tubo, Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, Amanyanabo of The Source (Elem Kalabari), Dabaye Amakiri 1, has called on the professional class, elites, and the rich, both in the diaspora and in Nigeria, to return home and invest in Kalabari communities.
Speaking during the New Year celebration, Dokubo-Asari said, “Our people need to come back home to build houses here instead of buying land in other communities.”
“I urge my fellow Kalabari brothers and sisters worldwide to set up businesses here that will boost the economy of the Kalabari Kingdom and provide jobs for our people.
“Our region is rich in oil and gas with opportunities in marine transportation. There are huge possibilities in agriculture and tourism development and many other avenues for viable investments.”
Dokubo-Asari further stated, “As Amanyanabo of The Source (Elem Kalabari), I recommit myself to the promotion, preservation, and growth of everything that has to do with Kalabari, like I have done for over 20 years.”
He emphasised the importance of unity and peaceful coexistence among brethren in all Kalabari communities, stressing that this is crucial for development and progress.
The King also urged youths to shun cultism and violent associations that harm others. Instead, he encouraged them to embrace peaceful and constructive endeavours that promote the well-being of their communities.
