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.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
