Tinubu Urges Nigerians Abroad to Invest Back Home in Nigeria for National Growth
.President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians living abroad to bring their resources and expertise back home to support national development and economic growth. He made the appeal on Thursday during an interactive meeting with members of the Nigerian diaspora at the ongoing Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) in Japan.
In a statement released by his Senior Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu said Nigeria is on a path of resurgence under his leadership. He described leadership as “thinking and doing,” emphasizing that his administration’s focus is on creating an environment where every Nigerian can experience the benefits of change.
Highlighting key achievements, the president pointed to improvements in passport processing, efforts to curb medical tourism through upgraded healthcare facilities, and broader economic transformation.
“I am glad to hear from you and share that many of our people are returning home. While it is a personal choice for some to stay abroad for economic reasons, the opportunities in Nigeria are strong, don’t stay away,” he said.
Tinubu also stressed that true citizenship goes beyond holding a Nigerian passport; it is reflected in one’s character and dedication to the country’s progress. He cautioned against negative portrayals of Nigeria, noting that such actions hinder investment and slow down development.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
