Tinubu Says Foreign Trips Are to Bring Jobs and Growth to Nigerians
President Bola Tinubu has explained the reason behind his frequent foreign trips, saying they are all aimed at securing growth, jobs, and prosperity for Nigerians. Tinubu, who just returned from a 10-day trip covering Brazil, Japan, and a brief stop in Los Angeles, stressed that every meeting and handshake abroad is tied to opening doors of opportunity for the country.
According to him, the visit to Japan focused on strengthening relationships that would attract investments in technology, industry, and human capital development. In Brazil, discussions centered on boosting cooperation in trade, agriculture, aviation, and finance, with the goal of building stronger confidence in Nigeria’s economy.
The President said his travels are not about rhetoric but about laying the foundation for a sustainable Nigeria that will outlast the present administration. “Every agreement and partnership is with one aim, to translate into real opportunities for Nigerians,” he noted.
He added that the partnerships being built will position Nigeria for long-term reforms, ensuring a future where growth and prosperity are secured for the people.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
